I just looked it up. It is a civil penalty, not a criminal violation.

I figured. It is in my state.

Refusal does not stop the OWI prosecution in any way.

OWI?

Especially since she was stupid enough to refuse a blood test after blowing .12 on the roadside test.

If she was smart she would have refused both. Drunk people aren't usually smart.

She will most likely try to argue that the roadside test is inaccurate and that she had had a drink almost immediately before taking the test.

I leave all those speculations to lawyers.

OWI?

Operation while intoxicated. (or technically "operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant")
