How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- reversing dismissal of late citation where police could not complete investigation of suspected operation under the influence of intoxicating liquor until the defendant was stabilized and interviewed
- seriousness of accident combined with officer's warning to defendant that citation would be issued was sufficient to provide defendant with implicit notice of violation
- officer “did not actually complete his investigation into the nature of the accident until he had interviewed the defendant after she had been stabilized at the hospital”
- delay in issuing citation justified where defendant had implicit notice based on seriousness of two-vehicle accident and officer informing defendant at hospital that he would be mailing her citation for OUI
- after interviewing defendant at hospital following motor vehicle accident, police officer stated \he would be mailing her a citation for 'operating under the influence of alcohol and a couple of other charges;'\ no indication that defendant did not understand such notice
