Description
The defendant, John A. Ege, was convicted of second offense drunk driving. On appeal, he contends he was improperly stopped
by a police officer who was informed by a citizen that the defendant was intoxicated. We affirm. On the evening of October 26, 1986, Officer Hearn of the Omaha Police Department was in her cruiser, parked next to a Texaco
station, attending to some paperwork. An employee of the station approached her and identified himself as Tim Blankenship.
Blankenship called Hearn's attention to a green automobile in a parking lot across the street and told her that the driver
of the car had just driven up over the curb near the front door of the station. Blankenship further informed Officer Hearn
that the driver came into the station to purchase some chewing gum and that he smelled strongly of alcohol. Hearn drove across
the street to follow the vehicle. She observed the car start and stop three or four times in the parking lot, and then followed
the car for a short distance without observing any moving violations. Officer Hearn stopped the vehicle. Hearn, like Blankenship,
noted a strong odor of alcohol on the defendant's breath and also noticed slurred speech. The defendant failed a field sobriety
test, and an Intoxilyzer test later showed his blood-alcohol content was 0.149 percent.
