Troopers Obtain “No Refusal” Warrant in Arrest of Lake Charles Man for Fourth Offense DWI

CALCASIEU PARISH — A Lake Charles man was arrested for fourth offense DWI and other charges early this morning.

On April 29, 2018, shortly before 4:00 a.m., a Trooper assigned to Louisiana State Police Troop D observed a vehicle being driven erratically on Louisiana Highway 3092 south of Lake Charles. A traffic stop was initiated and upon contact with the driver, 27-year-old Mark Shelbin Miller of Lake Charles, obvious signs of impairment were observed. Miller stated he needed to go to the hospital and was transported to a local hospital.

At the hospital, Miller refused to provide a toxicology sample. Details of the arrest were furnished to an on-call judge who approved a “no refusal” search warrant allowing Troopers to obtain blood and urine samples from Miller without his consent.

Miller was charged with DWI fourth offense, improper lane usage, no vehicle insurance and driving under suspension for a prior DWI. He was booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center.

Motorists who observe impaired drivers are encouraged to dial *LSP (*577) to reach the nearest Louisiana State Police troop location or to dial 911 to contact local law enforcement.
