Man Arrested by Naperville Police for DUI After Blowing 0.0

Well here's a goofy story. Any Naperville resident who has visited the downtown area knows firsthand that the police are watching. Come stumbling out of Features or Jimmy's and jump in a car, you better believe that the cops are going to get you. In fact, Naperville is ranked second in DUI arrests among Illinois cities other than Chicago. This past Memorial Day, a west suburban man was arrested for DUI, even though he blew a 0.0. The man was later released, but he was still fingerprinted, had a mug shot taken and information about his arrest was provided to a local newspaper, where it was published. Fortunately, the accused has since settled a lawsuit against Naperville. This is an interesting case as police said he failed a sobriety test before he took a breathalyzer. The man said that he passed the field-sobriety test, which makes more sense. How can someone fail a field sobriety test but blow a 0.0? General clumsiness? Maybe he needs to hire a Naperville moving company as this may not be the last time he is targeted by police.
