2015 IL App (3d) 130426
Decision Date: 
Wednesday, May 13, 2015
District: 
3d Dist.
Division/County: 
Will Co.
Holding: 
Affirmed.
Justice: 
McDADE
Defendant entered blind plea of guilty to driving while license revoked, and to obstructing identification. Court properly found that Defendant was not eligible for court supervision, as his revocation was related to a DUI charge. During plea agreement negotiations, it was established that Defendant had been convicted of driving while license revoked in connection with DUI charge, and thus Defendant was required to serve minimum 30 days in jail. Bond forfeiture for DUI is equivalent of conviction for DUI for purposes of Driver Licensing Law. (CARTER and WRIGHT, concurring.)
