STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED October 4, 1996 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 188452 LC No. 94-003567-FH SANDRA LEE ALGER, Defendant-Appellant. Before: J.H. Gillis, P.J., and G.S. Allen and J.B. Sullivan, JJ.* MEMORANDUM. Defendant entered a conditional plea of guilty to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, third offense, MCL 257.625; MSA 9.2325, and was sentenced to five years’ probation, with one year to be served in the county jail. She appeals as of right. We affirm. This case has been decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E)(1)(b). The trial court did not clearly err when it denied defendant’s motion to suppress. Having reviewed the affidavit in support of the search warrant and the testimony of the arresting officer given at defendant’s preliminary examination, we find that defendant failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the arresting officer, with reckless disregard for the truth, inserted false information into the affidavit. We are also unconvinced that the lack of a specific reference to the sobriety tasks defendant could perform constituted material omissions.
