3d Dist.
Division/County: 
Henry Co.
Holding: 
Affirmed.
Justice: 
O'BRIEN

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of DUI, after he crashed his vehicle into a guardrail and left the accident scene. Court did not err in denying Defendant's motion to dismiss. The arresting City police officer had jurisdiction to make the arrest, as annexation ordinance, included as an exhibit to State's response to motion to dismiss, establishes that location of Defendant's accident was within city limits, and thus arrest was not extraterritorial. (CARTER and McDADE, concurring.)
