Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Feb 18, 2020
Stephen C. Smith vs. Director of Revenue
Stephen C. Smith appealed the circuit court's judgment sustaining the revocation of his driving privileges after he refused a breath test following a DWI arrest. Smith challenged whether the arresting officer had probable cause to support his suspicion of driving while intoxicated. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, finding that the totality of the circumstances, including Smith's driving, physical appearance, admissions, and refusal of tests, provided sufficient probable cause for the arrest.
