Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) – NOT GUILTY OF DUI AFTER TRIAL

The Schiller Park Police department observed my client in his vehicle after receiving a noise complaint from a neighbor. The officer never observed my client actually driving the vehicle. The officer only saw him inside the vehicle with the keys on the seat. Under Illinois law, this is enough to charge someone with a DUI! We went to trial and cross-examined the police officer on whether he actually put the keys in the ignition to make sure those were the keys to that vehicle! He admitted he did not. After hearing this testimony from the officer, the judge found our client NOT GUILTY!
