Kennedy v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant in Virginia Beach moved the court to dismiss the warrant charging him with driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266, on the ground that he had been twice placed in double jeopardy in violation of the Fifth Amendment because his operator's license was administratively suspended for seven days pursuant to the results of a blood alcohol test following his drunk driving arrest.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The clear meaning and effect of Va. Code Ann. §§ 46.2-391.2 and 46.2-391.4 demonstrate that remedial concerns cannot be the sole purpose of the legislature in enacting the administrative license suspension (ALS) provisions. In the ALS action, the Clerk of the General District Court shall return the defendant's license at the end of the seven-day period unless the probable cause determination is appealed and overruled during the same period. There is no requirement for alcohol evaluation or treatment during the seven-day period and no mechanism to determine if the defendant poses a threat to the health and safety of the community.
