    Paul D. BARNES, Respondent, v. DIRECTOR OF REVENUE, State of Missouri, Appellant.
    No. WD 36886.
    Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.
    Jan. 21, 1986.
    Robert Davis Aulgur, Asst. Atty. Gen., Jefferson City, for appellant.
    Thomas F. Gordon, Kansas City, for respondent.
    Before CLARK, C.J., and TURNAGE and KENNEDY, JJ.
   CLARK, Chief Judge.

Paul D. Barnes was arrested September 27, 1984 at Bannister and Hillcrest Roads in Kansas City when he was observed driving his automobile northbound in the south traffic lane. Barnes displayed apparent conditions associated with alcohol intoxication and upon testing with a chemical breathalyzer, Barnes was found to have a blood alcohol concentration of .163 percent. Notice of driver’s license suspension was issued pursuant to §§ 302.500-540, RSMo.Cum.Supp.1984 and the suspension was affirmed on administrative review.

A de novo trial in the circuit court resulted in a reversal of the suspension order and the Director of Revenue has appealed. The sole issue in the case is respondent’s contention the suspension proceedings were invalid because no showing was made of probable cause to believe, at or prior to the time of respondent’s arrest, that his level of intoxication equalled or exceeded the statutory level of .13 percent.

The issues in this case are governed by Schranz v. Director of Revenue, 703 S.W.2d 912 (Mo.App.1986) [decided today]. On the authority of that decision, the judgment of the circuit court ordering reinstatement of respondent’s license privileges is reversed. The order by the Department of Revenue suspending respondent’s driving license is reinstated for a period to be determined by the Department of Revenue in accordance with § 302.525.2, RSMo.Cum.Supp.1984. Costs are assessed against respondent.
