Appeals Court Upholds License Revocation for Scotland County Sheriff

Missouri POST Investigator Requests All Court Documents in Scotland County, Mo.

The Missouri Court of Appeals has upheld the revocation of Scotland County Sheriff Bryan Whitney’s driver’s license. A highway patrol trooper gave him the full 20 minutes required by law to contact an attorney before he refused a breath test following his 2023 DWI arrest.

A three-judge panel affirmed a Scotland County Circuit Court decision by Adair County Associate Circuit Judge Kristie Swaim. The panel consisted of Presiding Judge Rebeca Navarro-McKelvey and Judges Gary Gaertner Jr. and James Dowd.

According to court records, Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper Travis Wood stopped Whitney on September 2023.

No legal error was found in Swaim’s ruling, effectively closing Appeal Case No.

Author's summary: Court upholds license revocation for sheriff.
