On January 25, 2024 at approximately 10:58 PM, Officer Jonathan Finze with the Wauconda Police Department observed a white 2017 Hyundai swerving and driving in the shoulder while headed northbound on Route 12 in the vicinity of N Old Rand Road. Officer Finze observed the driver continue to swerve off the road near Case Road. He initiated a traffic stop soon afterwards and the driver pulled over into the shoulder. He initiated contact with the driver, who was later identified as Savanna Anderson. Savanna told Officer Finze that she was heading home after attending trivia night at a brewery in Lake Zurich. She also admitted to consuming 3 alcoholic drinks earlier that evening. Based on his suspicion of impairment, Officer Finze asked Savanna to submit to a PBT after Officer Donna Zorbas arrived on scene to assist. Savanna refused to blow into the PBT, but she did agree to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises. Officer Finze started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test and he observed 6/6 indicators of impairment. The second exercise was the One Leg Stand test, and Savanna failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion and it took her 30 seconds to count to 20. The third exercise was the Walk and Turn test, and Savanna did not touch heel-to-toe on each step, turned improperly, and raised her arms for balance. The final exercise was the recitation of the alphabet from “F” to “U” without stopping, and she completed this test successfully. Following the field sobriety exercises, Savanna was offered an opportunity to take a PBT again, but she refused. Based on the odor of alcohol, her indicators of impairment, her admission to consuming alcohol earlier that evening, and her inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises, Officer Finze placed Savanna under arrest for driving under the influence. She was handcuffed, placed in the patrol car, and transported to the Wauconda Police Department for further processing. A search of her vehicle incident to arrest would later reveal the presence of open containers. At the Wauconda Police Department, the Warning to Motorist form was read to her and she agreed to provide breath samples. Her breath test results indicated a BAC level of 0.148%, which was over the legal limit of 0.08%. After she was processed at the station, she was released to her husband with the following summonses pending her court appearance: -Driving under the influence - alcohol (625 ILCS 5/11-501(a)(2)) -Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol Over .08 (625 ILCS 5/11-501(a)(1)) -Transporting an open container of alcohol (625 ILCS 5/11-502(a)) -Operating an uninsured motor vehicle (625 ILCS 5/3-707(a)) -Improper traffic lane usage (625 ILCS 5/11-709(a)) ------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
