Hellerud v. ND Dept. of Transp.No. 20010173 Per Curiam. [¶1] Ronald Lee Hellerud appealed from the district court's judgment affirming the decision of the North Dakota Department of Transportation to revoke Hellerud's driver's license for refusing to submit to an on-site chemical screening test. Hellerud argues the department's revocation of his license was not supported by a preponderance of the evidence because the officer did not have reasonable grounds to believe Hellerud could manipulate the controls of the vehicle. The department's decision to revoke Hellerud's license was supported by a preponderance of the evidence. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(5). [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. William A.
