Schram v. District of Columbia
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided December 31, 1984No. 83-1534PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Per curiam
In this case, we must decide whether Schram, who was outside her car when the police officer arrested her after arriving at the scene of an accident in which she had been involved, was committing a misdemeanor in his presence within the meaning of D.C.Code § 23-581(a)(l)(B) (1981). If not, then we must decide whether the results of a breathalyzer test, taken pursuant to her arrest, should have been suppressed. We conclude that the arrest was unlawful, that the breathalyzer results should have been suppressed, and that Schram’s conviction for driving while intoxicated must be reversed.
