Republican Rep pleads guilty DUI
A suburban Chicago lawmaker has pleaded guilty to DUI in Sangamon County.
Elmhurst Republican Representative Bob Biggins issued a statement Monday saying he made a "serious mistake." Biggins apologized and said he accepted "the full legal consequences."
Sangamon County Assistant State's Attorney William Vig says Biggins was ordered to pay a fine of more than $1,200 after pleading guilty. His sentence also includes one year of court supervision.
Biggins was stopped May 28th in Springfield.
Vig says Biggins' license also has been suspended for six months because he refused a breathalyzer. But Vig says Biggins has a driving permit that will let him drive for work.
