[Code 1980 §15-71; CC 1990 §15-153; Ord. No. 6238, 3-8-1999; Ord. No. 6573, 9-4-2001]
No person shall operate a motor vehicle with eight-hundredths of one percent (.08%) or more by weight of alcohol in his/her blood. As used in this Section, percent by weight of alcohol in the blood shall be based upon grams of alcohol per one hundred (100) milliliters of blood or two hundred ten (210) liters of breath and may be shown by chemical analysis of the person's blood, breath, saliva or urine. For the purposes of determining the alcoholic content of a person's blood under this Section, the test should be conducted in accordance with the ordinances of the City.
Any person who violates the provisions of this Section is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished as follows:
For the first (1st) offense, by a fine of not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) or by confinement in the County Jail for a term of not more than three (3) months, or by both such fine and confinement.
For the second (2nd) offense within a period of three (3) years, by confinement in the County Jail for a term of not less than seven (7) days and not more than six (6) months.
For the third (3rd) and subsequent offenses within a period of three (3) years, by confinement in the County Jail for a term of not less than forty-five (45) days and not more than six (6) months.
Evidence of prior convictions shall be heard and determined by the trial court, out of the hearing of the jury, prior to the submission of the case to the jury, and the court shall enter its findings thereon.
Upon the trial of any person for violation of any of the provisions of Section 565.024, RSMo., or Section 565.060, RSMo., or Section 342.020 or 342.030, or upon the trial of any criminal action or violations of county or municipal ordinances or in any license suspension or revocation proceeding pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 302, RSMo., arising out of acts alleged to have been committed by any person while driving a motor vehicle while in an intoxicated condition, the amount of alcohol in the person's blood at the time of the act alleged as shown by any chemical analysis of the person's blood, breath, saliva or urine is admissible in evidence and the provisions of Subdivision (5) of Section 491.060, RSMo., shall not prevent the admissibility or introduction of such evidence if otherwise admissible. If there was eight-hundredths of one percent (.08%) or more by weight of alcohol in the person's blood, this shall be prima facie evidence that the person was intoxicated at the time the specimen was taken.
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not be construed as limiting the introduction of any other competent evidence bearing upon the question whether the person was intoxicated.
A chemical analysis of a person's breath, blood, saliva or urine, in order to give rise to the presumption or to have the effect provided for in Subsection (A) of this Section, shall have been performed as provided in Sections 577.020 to 577.041, RSMo., and in accordance with methods and standards approved by the State Department of Health and Senior Services.
Any charge alleging a violation of Section 342.020 or 342.030, or any county or municipal ordinance prohibiting driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence of alcohol shall be dismissed with prejudice if a chemical analysis of the defendant's breath, blood, saliva, or urine performed in accordance with Sections 577.020 to 577.041, RSMo., and rules promulgated thereunder by the State Department of Health and Senior Services demonstrate that there was less than eight-hundredths of one percent (.08%) of alcohol in the defendant's blood unless one (1) or more of the following considerations cause the court to find a dismissal unwarranted:
An arrest without a warrant by a Law Enforcement Officer, including a uniformed member of the State Highway Patrol, for a violation of Section 342.020 or 342.030, is lawful whenever the arresting officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has violated the Section, whether or not the violation occurred in the presence of the arresting officer and when such arrest without warrant is made within one and one-half (1½) hours after such claimed violation occurred, unless the person to be arrested has left the scene of an accident or has been removed from the scene to receive medical treatment, in which case such arrest without warrant may be made more than one and one-half (1½) hours after such violation occurred.
[CC 1990 §15-160; Ord. No. 5981, 7-14-1997]
No person shall consume any alcoholic beverages while operating a moving motor vehicle in the City.
[CC 1990 §15-161; Ord. No. 6238, 3-8-1999]
Any person who is dead, unconscious or who is otherwise in a condition rendering him/her incapable of refusing to take a test as provided in Section 342.040 shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided by that Section and the test or tests may be administered.
