Implied consent; probable cause
Charles Wendt was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. He refused to submit to an evidentiary chemical test of his blood. In a subsequent refusal hearing, Wendt argued that the arresting officer lacked probable cause to request the blood test, and the circuit court agreed. Accordingly, the court ordered that no action be taken on Wendt’s operating privilege. The State appeals. I reverse and remand for further proceedings.
This opinion will not be published.
