Miller v. State

Supreme Court of Delaware

Decided June 7, 2010No. 655, 2009PublishedCited by 31 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

STEELE, Chief Justice:

Delaware State Police Officer Scott Mauchin performed an intoxilizer test on Paula Miller after she crashed into another car during the afternoon, smelled of alcohol, and failed several field sobriety tests. Miller alleges that the trial judge erroneously denied her motion to suppress the failed intoxilizer for lack of probable cause. Because the totality of the circumstances created probable cause to administer the intoxilizer, we AFFIRM Miller’s convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol and for following a motor vehicle too closely.
