Famous Friend Won’t Get You Out Of A DUI In Illinois
Everyone makes at least one bad choice in their life. Hopefully, when it happens to you, it doesn’t turn out to be a total disaster. I’ve made a few in my life, and luckily, I was able to learn from them and eventually move on. For a man in Illinois, his decision went from bad to worse. I think he might’ve learned something from the incident.
The suspect was busted for drunk driving. That’s a huge mistake, especially with all the alternative ways to get home safely nowadays. He learned very quickly, just because you know someone in a powerful position, like the mayor of a town. That’s not going to get you a “get out of jail free” card.
