Docket entry
060263 Bristol v. Commonwealth 11/03/2006 (Revised 11/03/2006) In a criminal case based on defendant's alleged operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the circuit court erred in admitting a certificate of blood analysis because the defendant was not arrested within three hours of the offenses as required by the implied consent provisions of Code § 18.2-268.2. Neither the exigent circumstances doctrine, nor the doctrine of harmless error supports another result. The judgment is reversed and the case is remanded.
