Decision Date: 
Tuesday, September 27, 2011

2d Dist.
Division/County: 
Boone Co.
Holding: 
Affirmed.
Justice: 
BIRKETT
Defendant was convicted, after stipulated bench trial, of aggravated DUI. Defendant filed motion to dismiss, arguing that statute required only that he possess a driver's license, not necessarily that he possess a valid drivers license. Issue is whether Defendant, at time of offense, possessed permission from the State to drive. If license was at that time revoked, suspended, or expired, then no such permission existed, and Defendant did not possess a driver's license within meaning of statute. (JORGENSEN and BURKE, concurring.)
