On May 27, 2025 at approximately 12:58 AM, Officer Nicholas Simons with the Villa Park Police Department observed a white 2017 Hyundai Sonata driving erratically as it was headed westbound on St. Charles Road in the vicinity of Ardmore Avenue. He activated his dash camera to observe its driving patterns, and the driver swerved in the vicinity of Michigan Avenue. The vehicle continued swerving between Kenilworth Avenue and Emerson Avenue and nearly struck the right curb while approaching Emerson Avenue. Just before he activated his emergency lights, the driver swerved again between E Division Street and E Washington Boulevard before proceeding to turn right onto E Washington Boulevard and striking the curb at the northwest corner of the intersection. The driver then pulled over along the north curb of E Washington Boulevard in neighboring Lombard, Illinois. As he exited the vehicle, the driver attempted to immediately exit the vehicle before he instructed her to remain seated. Deputy Szybkowski with the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office was also on scene to assist with the traffic stop. He asked the driver for her documents, and she was identified as 24-year-old Jessica Spencer. She told the officer that she was heading home from DeMito’s Saloon. He asked her if she had anything to drink, and she admitted to consuming alcohol earlier that evening. Based on his suspicion of impairment, Jessica was asked to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises. Officer Simons started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. During the HGN test, Officer Simons observed the lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, and the onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. He did not observe vertical nystagmus. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Jessica did not touch heel-to-toe on each step, turned improperly, and took and incorrect number of steps. The final exercise was the One Leg Stand test. During the One Leg Stand test, Jessica failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion and put her foot down before the test was complete. Based on the her erratic driving, the odor of alcohol, her indicators of impairment, her admission to consuming alcohol earlier that evening, and her inability to satisfactorily complete the field sobriety exercises, Officer Simons placed Jessica under arrest for driving under the influence. She was handcuffed, placed in the patrol car, and transported to the Villa Park Police Department for further processing. At the Villa Park Police Department, the Warning to Motorist form was read to her but she refused to provide adequate breath samples. After she was processed at the station, she was transported to her residence and released with the following summonses pending her court appearance: -Driving under the influence - alcohol (625 ILCS 5/11-501(a)(2)) -2 Citations for improper lane usage (625 ILCS 5/11-709(a)) -Driving with expired license plates (625 ILCS 5/3-413(f)) Court records indicate that Jessica has previously been arrested for DUI in Addison, Illinois on August 31, 2024. ------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
