Syllabus

The trial court did not err when it overruled appellant's motion to suppress evidence related to his driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs the arresting officer had a reasonable articulable suspicion that appellant was impaired from marijuana use, which justified field sobriety testing. There was no evidence that the arresting officer failed to substantially comply with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards when he conducted the field sobriety tests. Accordingly, the record supported the trial court's finding that probable cause existed to arrest appellant for driving under the influence, based upon his failure to correctly perform the field sobriety tests. Judgment affirmed.
