Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Probable Cause
Defendant appealed from his conviction for aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, arguing that the circuit court erred in failing to suppress evidence because there was not probable cause to arrest him. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the evidence established probable cause to arrest the defendant because a reasonably cautious person would have believed defendant was operating his vehicle under the influence of alcohol where he showed poor driving, admitted to drinking, had slurred speech, and poor dexterity. (HOLDRIDGE and DAUGHERITY, concurring)
