No. 5-09-0174
Decision Date: 
Friday, April 16, 2010
District: 
5th Dist.
Division/County: 
St. Clair Co.
Holding: 
Reversed.
Justice: 
WELCH
Defendant charged with DUI, and trial court granted her motion to rescind statutory summary suspension based on officer's failure to observe Defendant for 20 minutes. Statute requiring continuous 20-minute observation prior to obtaining breathalyzer reading is inapplicable, because Defendant refused breathalyzer; no requirement that officer must wait a given period of time before determining that person has refused to submit to testing.
