Description
The evidence showed that on March 12, 1967, a Sunday, at about 2:00 p. m., defendant Reyna entered Miller's Grocery and Jean
and Elsie's Tavern, which is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of Highway 30 and Black Cat Road in Ada County.
The bartender testified that Reyna was already a little drunk when he ordered his first beer. A few minutes later Reyna began
yelling, was asked to leave the bar, and was finally escorted out. From the window of the bar the bartender watched Reyna
drive south on Black Cat Road for the quarter mile or so before the road enters a wooded area. As it was March, the only obstruction
to the bartender's view of Reyna on this stretch of road was a woven wire fence. A few minutes later Reyna returned to the
tavern. As he drove his car into the parking area at the southeast corner of the tavern he nearly hit a man walking from the
barroom door to the restroom door, both of which doors are on the south side of the bar and near its southeast corner. In response to a call from the bartender's son, Officer Green arrived at the tavern at about 3:00 p. m. to find Reyna sitting
in his car where it was stopped in the parking area. Officer Green testified that he concluded Reyna was intoxicated because:
(1) he fumbled with his driver's license when asked for it, and dropped other papers; (2) there was an odor of alcohol on
his breath; (3) his eyes were bloodshot; (4) when asked to get out of the car, he staggered and leaned against his car. Therefore,
Officer Green arrested him at 3:30 p. m. and drove him to the Ada County jail. Reyna spoke to the officer in slurred speech
and was drowsy during the fifteen to twenty minute drive to Boise. The officer administered no chemical test for drunkenness
because he felt it was not necessary. The officer, on arresting Reyna, advised him of his right to consult with an attorney,
but Reyna made no response to this statement.
