Briefs: Man jailed on DUI charge

An Arlington Heights man facing his sixth charge of driving under the influence after a Feb. 1 traffic stop was released from the hospital Thursday but was transferred to jail after he was unable to post bond, Arlington Heights police reported. Steven N. Salzman, 44, had been receiving medical treatment at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights since his arrest. He was released to Arlington Heights police, who took him to bond court in Rolling Meadows. A Cook County circuit court judge found sufficient cause to hold Salzman for trial and bond was set at $200,000, police said. The next hearing in the case is 9 a.m. March 7.
