Steven O. Dale, Acting Commissioner, WV DMV v. James A. Odum and Chad Doyle, 760 S.E.2d 415

Consolidated WV DMV license-revocation appeals arising from DUI stops of Odum and Doyle.
OAH reversed DMV revocations, holding stops invalid; circuit court upheld reversal.
This Court reverses, finding the stops valid and reinstating DMV revocations.
Odum: patrolman stopped Odum in Beckley, outside Manning's jurisdiction; Gustke supports extraterritorial arrest.
Doyle: stop initiated by Anderson; DMV relied on later Glende DUI Information Sheet; hearsay issue questioned.
Statutory framework requires a valid stop to sustain an arrest and DMV revocation under 17C-5A-2(f)(2).

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Whether the stops were valid investigatory stops.	Odum, Doyle argue stops were unlawful.	DMV contends stops had articulable reasonable suspicion.	Stops valid; DMV revocations upheld.
Whether the DUI Information Sheet can establish stop validity when it relies on hearsay.	Doyle argues hearsay within the Sheet cannot prove stop.	DMV relies on the Sheet per Crouch rule.	DUI Information Sheet admissible; evidentiary content adequate to show a valid stop.
Whether the DMV bore the burden to prove a lawful arrest given the stop evidence.	DMV bore burden to prove lawful arrest.	Records and testimony support lawful arrest.	DMV satisfied burden; revocations reinstated.
