Harley v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant was arrested by police on May 19, 2000, and charged with DUI in Virginia Beach. At the time, he had one conviction for DUI in 1994 and was awaiting trial on a DUI charge that resulted from an arrest in March 2000. Although police initially charged defendant with a misdemeanor, the Commonwealth successfully moved to nolle prosequi that charge after defendant was convicted of the March 2000 offense, and a grand jury subsequently indicted him for felony DUI. The appellate court held that (1) any third or subsequent DUI conviction within the 10-year period prescribed by Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-270 triggered the enhanced punishment provision of that section and defendant was properly convicted of felony DUI for driving under the influence on May 19, 2000, even though he had only one DUI conviction at the time he committed that offense; and (2) the fact that the misdemeanor DUI charge that was filed after defendant's arrest on May 19, 2000, was dismissed did not invalidate the results of the breath test he took within two hours of the time he was arrested on that date, and the trial court did not err by admitting the results of that test during defendant's felony DUI trial.
