Description
Following an acquittal on the charges of driving under the influence of an intoxicant, the trial court determined that Sam Austin Turner had refused to submit to a chemical test to determine the alcoholic content of his blood and, consequently, suspended Turners operators license for six months pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated Section 55-10-406, the implied consent law. Turner contends that under the statute the accused has the right to choose the type of chemical test and that his offer to take a blood test satisfies the implied consent law despite his refusal to take a breath test. Thus, we are called upon to determine whether an accused complies with the implied consent law when the accused offers to take a specific chemical test to determine the alcoholic content of the blood, but specifically refuses to take the test offered by the officer.
