A police department’s failure to immediately provide a drunken driving arrestee with the results of an Alcotest was not sufficient grounds to suppress the results, a New Jersey appeals court has ruled.

In a published ruling issued Feb. 27 in State v. Sorensen, a three-judge panel unanimously reversed a trial judge’s ruling that suppressed the Alcohol Influence Report (AIR) because the Alcotest operator failed to give a copy of the report to defendant Gale Sorensen.
