By JUDGE THOMAS S. KENNY
Ronald Hastings was arrested on March 12, 1991, and charged with driving while intoxicated, in violation of § 18.2*266 of the Virginia Code. At the time of his arrest, he refused to submit to a blood or breath test to determine the alcoholic content of his blood, despite being advised by the arresting officer and by a magistrate that his unreasonable refusal to do so could result in the suspension of his driver’s license for a period of six months. A warrant was thereupon issued charging Mr. Hastings with a violation of § 18.2*268, Virginia’s "implied consent" law.
