License not revoked for N.M. man who refused test
ALBUQUERQUE AP State Motor Vehicle Division records show Gordon House did not lose his license after refusing a blood alcohol test following a deadly Christmas Eve 1992 crash. Prosecutors say he should have had a one year revocation for refusing the test, but the official record shows no such action. House, 35, of Thoreau, NM, was convicted of driving while intoxicated and faced additional charges. Police testified that his BAC was 0.10 and he drove the wrong way on I-40 near Albuquerque, injuring Paul Cravens and killing Melanie Cravens and her three daughters. The case raises questions about enforcement of the test-refusal revocation rule.
