The traffic stop took place on U.S. 30 and Queen Road during heavy rainfall, and the driver was identified as 37-year-old Evelyn Sanchez of River Grove, Illinois.

Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is a mere allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
