But whether it’s three Budweisers, three glasses of chablis or three whiskey sours, if the alka-sensor test administered at the road check gives a reading of .10 or above, that gives probable cause to arrest the vehicle operator for driving under the influence, explained Sgt. Dowdy. If arrested, the suspect is required to either allow blood to be drawn for laboratory analysis or take a breathalizer test, the results of which are accepted by Virginia courts. Refusal to submit to the tests can result in suspension of the suspect’s operator’s license.
“The check detail is a good tool to assist in keeping drunk drivers off the roads,” Sgt. Dowdy said. “They never know when we’re coming out there so it acts as a deterrent. I’d like to set one up every Friday and Saturday night, but I can’t pull the troopers off the roads that often, so we’ll do the best we can with the manpower we’ve got.”
