Defendant was convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI) as a chronic offender. Defendant appealed.
The Court of Appeals held that:
- Evidence that restaurant employee reported to police dispatch that an intoxicated man had left the restaurant, got into a vehicle, and then drove behind a nearby store was not hearsay, and
- Out-of-state municipal court judgments reflecting ordinance violations of “Driving While Intoxicated” qualified as prior intoxication-related traffic offenses of driving while intoxicated (DWI), as required to prove DWI as a chronic offender.
