The Director of Revenue (Director) appeals from the circuit court judgment reinstating Patrick McDonough’s driving privileges. We affirm.
On December 21, 1996, a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper arrested McDon-ough for driving while intoxicated. McDon-ough cоnsented to a breath test. The test showed a blood alcohol content of .247.
An administrative hearing officer upheld the Director’s “suspension/revocation” of Me-
The Director argues that the court erred in refusing to admit the breathalyzer results. To establish a prima facie case at trial, the Director had the burden to show by a preponderance of the evidence that (1) the arresting officer had probable cause to arrest McDonough for driving while intoxicated, and (2) at the time of the arrest, McDon-ough’s blood alcohol content was .10% or greater. Green v. Director of Revenue,
[ajpproved standard simulator solutions used to verify and calibrate breath analyzers shаll be certified by the manufacturer of that solution, and evidence of such certification shall accompany thе maintenance report.
The trial court stated that it disallowed the breathalyzer results because the certificate of analysis “contains hearsay, the analysis results of an independent laboratory and not those of RepCo Marketing.” This court addressed the hearsay issue in Overmann v. Director of Revenue,
Similar to Overmann, here the Director attached the certificate of analysis to a Missouri Statе Highway Patrol sergeant’s affidavit. The sergeant’s affidavit regarding Missouri State Highway Patrol records is identical in form to the modеl provided in section 490.692.3. Therefore, the trial court’s stated reasons for not admitting the breathalyzer results is contrary to this court’s holding in Overmann. However, a bench-tried judgment that reaches a correct result will not be set aside even if the trial court givеs a wrong or insufficient reason for its judgment. Fix v. Fix,
The judgment is affirmed.
Notes
. A new regulation, 19 CSR 25-30.051, addressing standard simulator solutions became effective after McDonough’s trial and providеs that the standard simulator solution “shall be certified by the suppliers of that solution (emphasis added). In addition, 19 CSR 25.30.051(3) provides that "The certificate shall include the name of the supplier, the lot or batch number of solution, the ethanol concentration in aqueous solution, and the expiration date.”
. We reach the same result in Dent v. Director of Revenue, No. 73406,
