Scriber v. State
Annotate this CasePetitioner was charged with certain traffic offenses in the district court. The district court acquitted Petitioner as to the charge of disobeying a lawful order or direction of a police officer but convicted Petitioner of four counts of fleeing and eluding police. Petitioner filed notice of a de novo appeal. Prior to trial, Petitioner filed a motion to dismiss the fleeing and eluding counts, arguing that, because he was acquitted of disobeying a lawful order, prosecution of the fleeing and eluding charges would violate the state and federal prohibitions against double jeopardy. The circuit court denied the motion. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that prosecution of the fleeing and eluding charges did not violate the prohibitions against double jeopardy or the doctrine of collateral estoppel.
