Michigan prosecutors win reversal after Eaton County Circuit Judge David Jordan restores charges against Andrew Clark, a MSP contractor accused of falsifying records tied to DataMaster DMT breathalyzer calibrations.

David John, Kalamazoo man linked to the scheme, pleaded guilty last October and received 36 months probation.
