The defendant was charged with impaired driving following a sobriety checkpoint stop on February 14, 2017.
The defendant challenged the timing of the stop, the administration of the breath demand, and the timing of the breath tests relative to the two-hour statutory requirement.
The defendant testified that he was stopped at 2:15 pm and waited 15 minutes in line, placing the first breath test outside the two-hour window.
The officer testified that the stop occurred at 3:08 pm, placing the first test within the statutory timeframe.
The court found the defendant's evidence unreliable and untrustworthy, particularly regarding his claim of consuming only two beers when his blood alcohol content was almost twice the legal limit.
The court rejected all of the defendant's challenges and found him guilty as charged.
