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

The Cook County Sheriff’s Department observed my client speeding  81 mph in a 55 mph zone on I-294 heading South bound. The Officer observed my client to have bloodshot and watery eyes. The Officer asked for a driver’s license and my client just stared forward for 30 seconds. He eventually retrieved his documents and fumbled with his insurance as it dropped to his lap. My client admitted to drinking alcohol earlier and had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath. The Officer asked my client to exit the vehicle. When my client exited, he did it very slowly and used the door frame of the vehicle for support. This was not my client’s first DUI so I had to go to trial. My client was found NOT GUILTY of DUI after a trial in front of a judge!
