Johnny B. Stanton Missouri Cases

Johnny Stanton appealed the circuit court's judgment sustaining the Director of Revenue's revocation of his driver's license for refusing a chemical blood test. Stanton argued that the arresting deputy was outside his jurisdiction when requesting the test and that there were no reasonable grounds to believe he was driving while intoxicated. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, holding that criminal procedural rules regarding jurisdiction do not apply to administrative license revocations, and that sufficient circumstantial evidence supported the finding of reasonable grounds for intoxication.
