Defendant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-27-2.1 (refusal to submit to a chemical test).  The Court noted that because an officer’s report was never notarized it was not a sworn report; however, the officer’s failure to create a sworn report was not fatal to the state’s efforts to secure a conviction for refusal to submit to a chemical test.  Accordingly, the Court sustained the violation against the defendant.
