WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Ronald J. Wendling
Case No.: 2017AP895-CR
Officials: Blanchard, Graham, and Nashold, JJ.
Focus: Unlawful-stop Claim – Reasonable Suspicion
Ronald Wendling appeals a judgment of conviction. The issue is whether a police officer had reasonable suspicion to stop Wendling’s vehicle because, when the officer checked the vehicle’s license plate number in a database, the officer received a response to the effect of “unable to process.” We conclude that there was reasonable suspicion. We affirm.
