By: WISCONSIN LAW JOURNAL STAFF//January 3, 2023//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Quentin James Eichman
Case No.: 2021AP002014-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Gill, JJ.
Focus: Warrantless Search – Suppression of Evidence
Eichman appeals from a judgment convicting him of one count of possession of methamphetamine. Eichman argues that the circuit court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence found during a warrantless pat-down search. The appeals court agrees with the State that the pat-down search was a permissible search incident to arrest. During a search incident to arrest, an officer is entitled to seize any “‘fruits, instrumentalities, or contraband’ probative of criminal conduct.”
Affirmed.
