Sandborn v. State4/10/1987
ditch and smashed into the fence. Upon questioning Galloway, the deputy learned that the driver looked like appellant, that the driver had walked to appellant's house, and that the driver appeared to be intoxicated. A vehicle registration check revealed that the vehicle belonged to appellant's wife. Upon arriving at appellant's house to investigate further, Deputy Ashlock met appellant's wife on her way to talk to Mr. Galloway about the damage to his property. Later, Deputy Ashlock asked appellant's wife for permission to enter and speak with appellant. Appellant's wife gave him permission to enter the house and led him to the room where appellant was sleeping. When Deputy Ashlock began questioning appellant, he observed that appellant's eyes were very bloodshot, that appellant smelled of alcohol, and that appellant had some difficulty speaking clearly and standing. Applying a standard of reasonableness, practicality, and good sense, as we are required to do, id., we hold that the facts and circumstances are such as to warrant a reasonably cautious and prudent man to believe that appellant was driving or in actual control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
Affirmed.
