WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Anne E. Streckenback
Case No.: 2020AP345-CR
Officials: STARK, P.J.
Focus: 5th Amendment Violation – Suppression Motion Denied
Anne Streckenbach appeals a judgment convicting her of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI), as a second offense. Streckenbach argues that the circuit court should have granted her motion to suppress evidence because the officer who arrested her violated her constitutional right to be free from self-incrimination by “extensively interrogat[ing] her prior to her formal arrest.” We conclude the officer’s questions were permissible within the context of his investigatory stop of Streckenbach’s vehicle. We therefore affirm.
