WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Alex J. Premo
Case No.: 2020AP1132-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Probable Cause – Suppression of Evidence
Alex Premo seeks review of a suppression ruling that led him to plead guilty on a drug charge. Premo contends the circuit court’s determination of probable cause for his arrest was based upon an assumption of facts not in evidence. We conclude that the totality of the circumstances supported a determination of probable cause even without consideration of the challenged facts. We therefore affirm.
