PEOPLE
v.
McCROHAN.
Docket No. 2,361.
Michigan Court of Appeals.
Decided December 5, 1967.
Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, William L. Cahalan, Prosecuting Attorney, Samuel J. Torina, Chief Appellate Lawyer, and Richard J. Padzieski, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.
Tauber & Garon, for defendant.
HOLBROOK, P.J.
On May 16, 1966, defendant was tried and convicted of the offense of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor,[1] by the court without a jury in the recorder's court, traffic and ordinance division. He was sentenced to 5 days in the Detroit house of correction and required to pay costs of $75.
Defendant has appealed and raises one question for review: Was defendant properly advised of his rights in accordance with CLS 1961, § 257.625a, as amended by PA 1964, No 104, effective, August 28, 1964 (Stat Ann 1965 Cum Supp § 9.2325[1])?[2]
The pertinent facts appear as follows: In the city of Detroit on March 25, 1966, at 8 p.m., the defendant was observed driving in an improper manner. He was stopped, placed under arrest and taken to a police station. Later, when he complained of being ill, he was taken to Detroit Receiving *43 Hospital for a short while and then to the police station on Beaubien street.
Officer Trozak of the Detroit police department testified that defendant had been driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, describing his demeanor, et cetera. The officer on cross-examination by defendant's counsel stated that he had advised the defendant of his right to take a breathalyzer test, a blood test by a doctor, or any other test he would like to take. The officer during cross-examination also stated defendant refused to take a test because "he wouldn't be able to pass it, he had too much to drink."
The officer admitted that he did not inform defendant that he could go to Receiving Hospital for a blood test, and this appears to be the main basis for defendant's appeal.
Defendant took the stand and denied that he had been driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, but that at the time he was ill and had cramps.
The trial court was the trier of the facts and found defendant guilty. It is evident that the trial judge believed the testimony of the officer and rejected that of defendant.
This case is governed by our decision in People v. Church (1966), 5 Mich App 303. Defendant cannot complain of the officer's failure to advise him he could have a blood test at Receiving Hospital because the applicable statute does not require such advice to be given.
Affirmed.
BURNS and McGREGOR, JJ., concurred.
