BRENT SENTENCED TO JAIL AND PROBATION

Ex-Dallas Cowboy and University of Illinois football player Josh Brent was sentenced to six months in jail and 10 years of probation for his part in the fatal DUI crash in late 2012.  Brent was convicted of intoxicated manslaughter under Texas laws for driving his former teammate, Jerry Brown, with a blood alcohol level of .18, more than twice the legal limit, when his Mercedes crashed, killing Brown.

LICENSE SUSPENSION FOR DRIVER UNDER 21

For drivers in Illinois who are under the age of 21, be aware that your driving privileges will be automatically suspended upon receiving two moving violations within the same 12 month period.  If you do receive a second moving violation, do not pay the associated fine, but rather, contact an attorney who may be able to obtain supervision or community service on your behalf.  This will prevent the second ticket from becoming a part of your driving record and your license will remain active.  While the cost of an attorney will likely be more than the cost of the ticket, many drivers believe it would be worth it to maintain their driving privileges.
