State ex rel. Wyo. Dep’t of Transp. v. Icenhower
Annotate this CasePetitioner was arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol. Petitioner initially refused to take a breath test until the arresting highway patrol trooper said that a search warrant would be obtained and that a blood sample could be forcibly obtained if Petitioner did not cooperate. Petitioner then submitted to the breath test, which he failed. The trooper then issued Petitioner a notice of license suspension. After a contested case hearing, the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) upheld the proposed suspension. The district court reversed, concluding that Petitioner was tricked into submitting to the breath test by the trooper’s statements. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the OAH correctly found that Petitioner was properly advised as required by statute and not tricked or misled.
