Brown Law Office OVI/DUI News

The Ninth District Court of Appeals recently addressed probable cause to arrest a motorist for a suspected violation of OVI in State v. Martin, 2018-Ohio-1705.  The Court held that a strong odor of alcohol coupled with other signs of impairment and an admission of drinking constitutes probable cause to arrest, even where the motorist refuses field sobriety tests.  A link to the opinion can be found here.
