Driver’s License : DWI – Breath Test Refusal – Implied Consent Law
Stephanie Maniscalco//March 2, 2018//
Where a driver challenged the revocation of his license for refusal to consent to a breath test after a DWI arrest, arguing that the officer lacked reasonable grounds to believe that he drove while intoxicated, the judgment is affirmed because the officer observed an odor of alcohol, watery and bloodshot eyes and mumbled speech and the officer found him at the scene, and officer read Missouri’s implied consent law, so the driver also did not show that the officer violated statutory notice requirements.
Judgment is affirmed.
Trentmann v. Director of Revenue (MLW No. 71433/Case No. ED105642 – 9 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, Gaertner Jr., J.) Appealed from circuit court, Franklin County, Williams, J. (Kevin A. Richardson for appellant) (Morgan L. Brewington for respondent).
