DeAnda was pulled over by Tucson police after showing signs of alcohol poisoning while driving. After he was arrested, a Tucson officer briefed him on Arizona’s tacit consent law and, after reading the notice to DeAnda, asked DeAnda if he would submit to the tests. DeAnda agreed. The officer took a blood sample and sent it for forensic analysis. The test results showed a BAC of 0.142.
DeAnda has been charged with DUI. Before his trial, he filed a motion to suppress the evidence for the blood test because his consent to the test was coerced by the officer’s advice on the Tacit Consent Act. After the evidence hearing, the trial court denied DeAnda’s motion and the blood test evidence was admitted.
