$100,000 bond set for man facing 4th DUI charge
A Cook County judge set bond at $100,000 for a 43-year-old Wheeling man charged with drunken driving.
It marked the fourth DUI arrest for Sergio Centano-Cruz, of the 800 block of Cambridge Place in Wheeling, who was stopped by police about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday in the vicinity of the 200 block of Dundee Road for driving without headlights.
After pulling Centano-Cruz over, the officer noted a strong smell of an alcoholic beverage on the defendant's breath, said Assistant State's Attorney Ryan Whitney. The officer also noted Centano-Cruz's slurred speech and glassy, bloodshot eyes, Whitney said. Centano-Cruz's blood-alcohol content was .132 and he admitted drinking beer to the officer, Whitney said.
He was convicted of DUI in 1999 under the name Francisco Centano-Cruz, Whitney said, and he has two DUI convictions from 2005, both under the name Sergio Vasquez.
His next court date is July 7.
