Louisiana: State Police charge Dustin Richard McGowen for 3rd DWI in smashup with school bus; injured two kids and bus driver

Troopers at the scene suspected narcotic impairment and brought in a State Police Drug Recognition Expert who determined that McGowen was impaired. McGowen would not agree to submit a toxicology sample. A no refusal warrant was then obtained from a state district judge. Once issued, a no refusal warrant allows a law enforcement officer to bring an uncooperative driver to a qualified medical professional in order to obtain a toxicology sample without the driver’s consent.
