When a trooper smells an odor of alcohol, it is his duty to investigate. When a person refuses to submit to a test, she leaves him no choice. So what if she wasn't drunk, he didn't know, and she refused to allow him to find out. I could drink a glasss of wine 2 hours ago, and it would still be clearly on my breath, though I would easily be a double gooseegg.
