Out-of State Alcohol-Related Reckless Driving Conviction Considered A “Prior" OWI (DUI) In Wisconsin

State of Wisconsin v. Malsbury , Slip Copy, 2011 WL 2201190 (Wis.App.)

Defendant appealed a determination that he was a second offender, based upon his prior conviction in another state (Washington) where the original charged was amended/reduced from DUI to reckless driving.

The Court was guided by the fact that Washington State treats the offense as a prior as well.
