Supreme Court of Arkansas

Edward Lockhart, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

January 26, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 18

Summary

The court affirmed Lockhart’s convictions for sixth-offense driving while intoxicated and refusal to submit to chemical testing, rejecting challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, traffic stop, charging information, and prior convictions. It also declined to reach the merits of Lockhart’s presentence-report sentencing argument because counsel failed to object before sentence was imposed. Wynne, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part, would have found the sentencing issue preserved and reversed and remanded for consideration of the statutory presentence-report requirement.
