State v. Codeluppi
Annotate this CaseDefendant was charged with, inter alia, operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OVI). Defendant filed a motion to suppress the evidence obtained during the traffic stop. The trial court denied the motion to suppress, concluding that the motion lacked sufficient particularity on the issue of alleged improper administration of field sobriety tests. At the pretrial conference, Defendant pled no contest. The trial court subsequently found Defendant guilty of OVI. The court of appeals affirmed the denial of Defendant’s motion to suppress, finding the motion deficient because more factual detail was needed. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that a highly detailed pleading of the facts and law is not required to satisfy the notice requirements of State v. Shindler and to trigger the right to a hearing on a motion to suppress.
