Simons v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant sought review of a judgment from the Circuit Court of Lynchburg (Virginia), which convicted defendant, a habitual offender, of driving under the influence of alcohol and which sentenced defendant as a felon, pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(B)(2).  In reversing, the court held that even though defendant had been negligent in operating the vehicle, defendant's intoxication had not been such that it had elevated defendant's conduct to the level of reckless driving. Thus, the court held the evidence had failed to prove that defendant's drunken driving had endangered others, as required by Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(B)(2).

  • Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357 contains the criterion that distinguishes a misdemeanor violation from a felony violation. A habitual offender who is convicted of driving a motor vehicle after being forbidden to drive shall be punished as a misdemeanant if such driving does not, of itself, endanger the life, limb, or property of another, pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(B)(1)..
