South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles v. McCarson

Supreme Court of South Carolina

Decided January 24, 2011No. 26916PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Beatty

Larry McCarson appeals the order of the Administrative Law Court (ALC) that resulted in the suspension of his driver’s license following an arrest for driving under the' influence (DUI). 1 In his appeal, McCarson claims the ALC erred in reversing the decision of the Hearing Officer for the Division of Motor Vehicles Hearings (DMVH) that rescinded the initial license suspension. Specifically, McCarson contends his license should not have been suspended as there was no admissible evidence to establish probable cause for his DUI arrest. We agree and reverse the decision of the ALC.
