Shanks v. Director of Revenue

Cody Shanks (“Shanks”) appeals from a judgment sustaining the Director of Revenue’s suspension of his driving privileges. Shanks argues that the Director of Revenue failed to establish that the arresting officer had probable cause to arrest Shanks for driving while intoxicated. Specifically, Shanks claims that the Director of Revenue failed to present evidence demonstrating a temporal connection between Shanks’s admitted operation of a motor vehicle and his observed intoxication at the time of the arrest.
