Totaled vehicle while drunk. Total Not Guilty from Glenview, Illinois

The Cook County Sheriff saw a busted up car with two flat tires and a whole lot of oil spilled out onto the street. Our client was there waiting when the officer arrived and admitted he had driven the vehicle earlier in the evening. He took whatever tests the officer wanted, including a breath test showing what we all already knew - he was pretty drunk. So why is not this guy toast (like he thought he was)? Because being drunk has not been illegal for decades! There was no evidence he had been operating the vehicle while drunk, and our client was not guilty on all counts.
