Description
1 Brent Reed seeks review of a published court of appeals decision that affirmed a circuit courts non-final order denying his motion to dismiss an obstructing an officer charge. State v. Reed, 2004 WI App 98, 273 Wis. 2d 661, 681 N.W.2d 568. The obstructing charge accompanies an operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated charge and stems from Reeds falsely telling a police officer that another individual was operating the vehicle. The court of appeals concluded that the "exculpatory denial" exception to the obstructing statute set forth in State v. Espinoza, 2002 WI App 51, 250 Wis. 2d 804, 641 N.W.2d 484, which absolves a defendant for falsely denying guilt of a crime when questioned by police, did not extend to these circumstances. Reed, 273 Wis. 2d 661, 10.
