Turns out this was his SECOND drunk driving arrest ... Robbins police chief retires after second DUI arrest Jan 7 2013 Midlothian authorities said Holmes, 66, who also is a member of the Community High School District 218 Board, was so disoriented he was stopped on Dec. 22 that he thought he was still in the neighboring village of Posen. The incident was Holmes’ second DUI arrest in Midlothian in less than three years. Holmes allegedly admitted that he had been drinking in Posen the night he was stopped, and officers found a flask of alcohol in his jacket, according to a police report. He also failed two field-sobriety tests, and a subsequent Breathalyzer indicated his blood-alcohol level was .194, more than twice the legal limit, according to a police report. According to court records, he was sentenced to court supervision and paid more than $1,000 in fees for the 2010 DUI citation. ... Holmes said his future as a board member for District 218 — which includes Richards, Eisenhower and Shepard high schools — is uncertain. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/...ce-chief-retires-after-second-dui-arrest.html
