He refused a blood test as was his right, and probably the correct decision given that this "top cop" (ie, the one they say had by far the most DUI arrests) was a criminal and shown to break the evidence chain of custody.

> He refused a blood test as was his right

Per the article, he refused the old walk-along-a-straight-line-without-swaying, not a blood test (nor even a breathalyser).

He refused the blood draw as was his right.
