Harder v. Director of Revenue

CRAHAN, Chief Judge.

The Director of the Missouri Department of Revenue (“Director”) revoked the operator’s license of Chris Harder (“Driver”) based on Driver’s refusal to submit to a Breathalyzer test. Driver was asked to take the test after being involved in a one-car accident in St. Louis County. Driver petitioned the St. Louis County Circuit Court to review his revocation pursuant to section 577.041.4-5 RSMo. (Supp.1996). After a hearing, the trial court directed a verdict in favor of Driver and ordered Director to reinstate Driver’s license. Director appeals. We reverse and remand.
