Defendant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. § 31-27-2.1 (refusal to submit to a chemical test). The District Court held that where the defendant had bloodshot and watery eyes, emitted an odor of alcohol on his breath, fumbled when producing paperwork, swayed when exiting the vehicle, and failed field sobriety tests, the officer had reasonable grounds to believe that the defendant had operated a vehicle under the influence. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violation against the defendant.
