    Conrad L. GATES, Respondent, v. DIRECTOR OF REVENUE, State of Missouri, Appellant.
    No. WD 37096.
    Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.
    Jan. 21, 1986.
    Robert Davis Aulgur, Asst. Atty. Gen., Jefferson City, for appellant.
    Dennis E. Dibler, Kansas City, for respondent.
    Before CLARK, C.J., and TURNAGE and KENNEDY, JJ.
   CLARK, Chief Judge.

Conrad L. Gates was arrested November 13, 1984 in Kansas City at south 71 Highway and 1-435 when the automobile he was driving was observed to be traveling in excess of the lawful speed. Gates displayed apparent conditions associated with alcohol intoxication and upon testing with a chemical breathalyzer, Gates was found to have a blood alcohol concentration of .17 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.
