State v. Bruns

326 S.W.3d 97, 2010 Mo. App. LEXIS 1321, 2010 WL 3743656

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Scott J. Bruns appeals his conviction in the Cole County Circuit Court for driving while intoxicated. Bruns makes two arguments on appeal. First, he contends that the circuit court plainly erred in admitting evidence obtained following a traffic stop but before his arrest, because law enforcement failed to advise him of his rights under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966). Second, Bruns argues that the circuit court plainly erred in convicting him of a class D felony, based on its determination that he was a persistent offender under § 577.023, RSMo, because § 577.010, RSMo defines the offense as a misdemeanor. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, an unpublished memorandum setting forth the reasons for this order has been provided to the parties. Rule 30.25(b).
