George v. State

The arresting officer could testify that two men told a translating officer that they gave the defendant $20 to use his van since the defendant claimed the arresting officer charged him with DUI in retaliation for his refusing to pursue automobile theft charges against the two men.

A jury found Gabriel George guilty of driving under the influence. George appeals, challenging evidentiary rulings and asserting that the trial court damaged his credibility with the jury. We have examined George’s claims and determined that no reversible error occurred. Therefore, we affirm.

On July 11, 1998, at approximately 2:00 p.m., Officer Anthony Dubois of the Forest Park Police Department went to George’s residence in response to George’s report that someone had stolen his van. Officer Dubois testified that George’s clothes were disheveled, his eyes were glassy, he smelled of alcohol, his speech was slurred, and he was having difficulty maintaining his balance. He testified that George told him that he had been drinking alcoholic beverages earlier at a neighbor’s apartment, and that one of his neighbors had taken his van. Officer Dubois went to the neighbor’s apartment, where the door was answered by a man who “could barely walk” and where he saw evidence of recent consumption of alcoholic beverages. Someone there told the officer that two men had taken George’s van to visit a family member.
