A man who officials said was driving more than 140 mph with a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit has avoided jail time after pleading guilty to misdemeanor DUI and reckless driving.
Dean A. Suominen, 37, was sentenced to two years of supervision and was ordered to complete 100 hours of community service.
Suominen was cited on Jan. 10, 2012 after his Dodge Charger left the road and struck a billboard in the 500 block of Chamberlain Avenue in Naperville, City Prosecutor Mike DiSanto said.
Suominen’s blood alcohol level was .20, DiSanto said. The legal limit in Illinois is .08.
The car’s computer system indicated the car was traveling at 142 mph just before it left the road, the prosecutor said
Suominen, a Shorewood resident, also must pay more than $3,000 in fines, fees and restitution. He must undergo an alcohol evaluation and attend a victim impact panel, DiSanto said.
He did not have any previous alcohol-related driving offenses.
