Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Jul 23, 2024
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent vs. ALISHA LOUISE BUELL, Defendant-Appellant
Alisha Louise Buell appealed her conviction for driving while intoxicated (DWI) following a bench trial, arguing insufficient evidence to prove she was intoxicated or impaired by drugs. The State presented evidence of Buell's admissions to recent drug use, her erratic driving behavior, and an officer's observations and opinion of impairment. The Southern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction, finding sufficient evidence to support the trial court's finding of intoxication.
