The State appeals from a circuit court order dismissing the refusal proceeding pending against Robert J. Ruggles on the grounds that Ruggles was not informed that if he refused a breath sample, a blood test would be compelled. Because the statutory law does not require this information to be provided to the accused under Wis. Stat. § 343.305 and Ruggles does not have a right-constitutional or otherwise-to receive the information, we reverse the order. This opinion will not be published.
