Smith, whose given name is John Andrew Smith, first told the officer he had not consumed any alcoholic beverages.
I asked him again, and he stated he had consumed a single beer at Hals. I noticed also that Mr. Smiths eyes were watery, and I asked him to exit the vehicle, which he did, Kramer said in the report.
Smith told the officer hed had the beer 45 minutes earlier, and the officer asked him to blow into a hand-held intoximeter. The officer said the lawmaker refused, stating he would prefer to go to a clinic or the hospital to get tested.
The officer said Smith finally agreed to blow into the device. The report stated that Smith blew a .091., which is above the legal limit of .08.
