Officer Cannot Explain How He Conducted the Sobriety Test and the Judge Still Holds the Case

We are in Siren Wisconsin for a motion to suppress hearing before Judge Melissa Mogen in the case of State of Wisconsin versus Antonio Morales. On New Year's Day twenty twenty six Deputy Jeff Carroll of the Burnett County Sheriff's Department responded to a single vehicle accident and found Morales stuck in a roadside ditch. Carroll administered three standardized field sobriety tests — Morales passed two of them. The one he failed was the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, a highly technical eye movement evaluation governed by strict national guidelines. Defense attorney Daniel Chapman put Carroll on the stand and asked him to walk through exactly how he performed that test. What Carroll said under oath — and what the bodycam showed — became the center of the entire hearing. The judge had a lot to say about both. And the defense did not get the outcome it was expecting.
