Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The Court of Appeals reversed the defendant's conviction for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicating liquor. It did so on the ground that a blood test was not given within "a reasonable time" after the defendant's arrest, and therefore should have been suppressed. For the reasons stated in this opinion, we reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals and reinstate the judgment of the circuit court.
