Defedant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-27-2.1 (refusal to submit).  The Court held that the one hour and twenty minute delay in bringing the defendant to the station was because the police officer’s vehicle was hit.  However, the Court held that the delay did nto violate the statute because the defendant was not prejudiced. Accordingly, the Court sustained the violation against the defendant.
