Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on Thursday filed charges against two technicians contracted to service all the DataMaster DMT (DataMaster Transportable) breath alcohol testing instruments for the Lower Peninsula. The Michigan State Police entered into a contract with Intoximeters Inc. that began Sept. 1, 2018 to provide ongoing maintenance and repairs, as well as 120-day on-site inspections on each of the 203 DataMaster DMTs in the state. Discrepancies in some submitted diagnostic reports came to light during a routine technical review by MSPs Breath Alcohol Program on Jan. 2,2020. The MSP promptly began working with the Attorney Generals Public Integrity Unit, continuing to demonstrate a steadfast belief that public trust and accountability are essential in government. The combined efforts of the MSP Breath Alcohol Program, MSP Fraud Investigation Section and the Attorney Generals Public Integrity Unit have culminated in the charges announced Friday.
