Jerome v. State
Facts:
Defendant was
convicted in the Circuit Court for Baltimore (Maryland) of driving under the
influence (DUI) of alcohol per se, and was sentenced. The docket entries
indicated that defendant was also convicted of driving under the influence of
alcohol, driving while impaired, failing to drive right of center, and driving
an uninsured vehicle (additional charges), and that these additional charges
were merged at sentencing. Defendant appealed.

Holdings:
The Maryland Court made the
following holding:
- Driving under the
influence per se is not a lesser included offense of driving under the
influence. It is a separate offense, as both driving under the influence
and driving under the influence per se each have an element not found in
the other. The criminal per se law is intended to supplement the existing
prohibitions.
- Driving "under the influence" is the more serious of the driving under the influence of alcohol and driving while impaired and requires that the alcohol that the person has consumed has substantially impaired the person's normal coordination. By contrast, driving "while impaired" requires that the alcohol that the person has consumed has impaired normal coordination to some extent. Driving under the influence of alcohol per se requires that the person take a test that shows the blood alcohol level to be 0.08 or more.
