McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office Wins Another Difficult DUI Case

McHenry County State’s Attorney, Louis A. Bianchi, is pleased to announce a recent victory of another DUI offender.

Assistant State’s Attorney’s Robert Malen and Demetrios Tsilimigras won a DUI jury trial in the matter of People v. Craig Miller. The jury deliberated for only one hour.

This was a challenging case because the defendant refused all field sobriety tests and refused a breathalyzer.

Sheriff’s Deputy Stan Myk stopped the defendant on Roberts Road near Maple Street in Island Lake for his erratic driving which caused the deputy to make an evasive move to avoid a head-on collision.

The defendant admitted that he was departing from a local bar. This was the defendant’s second DUI offense.

We are proud of our Assistant State’s Attorney’s.

This is the second successful DUI prosecution in 2 weeks where no breathalyzer result was admitted into evidence.
