WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Kyle M. Kleinschmidt
Case No.: 2020AP881-CR
Officials: GILL, J.
Focus: OWI – Reasonable Suspicion – Suppression of Evidence
Kyle Kleinschmidt appeals from a judgment of conviction for one count of operating a motor vehicle while revoked and one count of misdemeanor bail jumping. He contends the circuit court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence. Kleinschmidt argues that it was unreasonable for the arresting officer to stop him, insomuch as the officer’s actions were based on an incorrect interpretation of law, and that the Wisconsin Administrative Code was inapplicable in this case. Because we agree with the court that the arresting officer had reasonable suspicion to believe that Kleinschmidt had committed a traffic violation, we affirm.
