Felony charge for Chicago driver on Ogden
September 24, 2007, 4:13 AM
An officer in the 6700 block of Ogden noticed a black Mercury Cougar in a gas station lot, occupied by a sleeping man. The key was in the ignition; the officer tried without success to wake the driver. A strong odor of alcohol came from inside the Cougar. An open 24-ounce can of Bud Lite was visible on the console. When paramedics arrived, they were able to wake the man and help him out of the car. A name check of Guillermo Garcia, 35, of the 3900 block of west 24th, Chicago, showed an active arrest warrant out of McCook. Because Garcia had two previous suspensions for alcohol and/or insurance violations, the state’s attorney approved a felony charge of aggravated driving while suspended. He was also cited for DUI, DUI over.08, and driving uninsured.
