A computer check revealed that this driver had a revoked Missouri driver’s license. The officer also noticed signs of impairment from this driver. The officer arrested the driver for driving while revoked and transported him to the Belton Jail where he investigated the possible intoxication further.

The Belton Officer then obtained a search warrant to obtain blood samples from the driver. Lab results later showed that the driver’s blood alcohol concentration was more than twice the legal limit.
