While the above mentioned individuals have been charged with a crime, they are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Driving under the Influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious offense which when convicted can result in jail time and fines. Additional expenses can be incurred by the court system for counseling and use of an alco-sensor in your vehicle. Drivers also face the suspension of driving privileges by the Illinois Secretary of State.
Those who drink should consider a designated driver, taxi, or public transportation in place of risking a serious or fatal crash involving driving under the influence.
