Glasrud v. City of Laramie

GOLDEN, Justice.

Matthew Glasrud’s (Glasrud) prosecution and conviction in municipal court for driving under the influence followed the administrative suspension of Glasrud’s driver’s license, eliciting double jeopardy concerns. In response to Glasrud’s appeal from his proseeu tion and conviction, the district court presents certified questions pursuant to Wyoming Rule of Appellate Procedure 11. We hold Wyoming’s implied consent laws, providing for suspension of a driver’s license for driving while under the influence, do not constitute “punishment” for purposes of double jeopardy.
