Jones v. Town of Marion

Opinion

Present: All the Justices

RODNEY DALE JONES

v. Record No. 990336 PER CURIAM January 14, 2000 TOWN OF MARION

FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

We awarded this appeal to review a judgment of the Court of

Appeals holding that the failure to offer the accused a

preliminary breath analysis, as provided by Code § 18.2-267, did

not invalidate the accused's arrest, and that the failure to

bring the accused before a magistrate to determine probable

cause, as required by Code § 19.2-82, did not deny the accused

due process of law. Jones v. Commonwealth, 28 Va. App. 791, 508

S.E.2d 921 (1999).

For the reasons stated in the opinion of the Court of

Appeals, we will affirm its judgment.

Affirmed.
