[T] County of Jefferson v. Lynch4/24/2003
ir vehicle, making it unlikely they believed they could remain anonymous. In addition, the fact that they had told him they were attempting to call dispatch when they saw him, makes it reasonable to infer that they would call dispatch as he directed and would give identifying information to dispatch.
. Although the citizens did not describe the vehicle, the information that it had just passed the location, coupled with the officer immediately taking off and within less than a minute seeing only Lynch's vehicle, makes it reasonable to infer that Lynch's vehicle was the one the citizens had seen. Finally, the officer's observation of Lynch's driving corroborated the information given to him by the citizens. We do not agree with Lynch that because he was not driving outside his lane, the weaving within his lane did not present a danger. It did. We conclude the officer's observation of Lynch's driving, coupled with the information from the citizens, provided specific and articulable facts which, taken together with rational inferences from those facts, would lead a reasonable officer to suspect that the driver of the vehicle was operating under the influence of an intoxicant.
By the Court. -- Judgment affirmed.
This opinion will not be published. Wis. Stat. Rule 809.23(1)(b)4.
