Joliet Man Gets 6 Months' Jail Time for DUI
According to court records, this was Parrish Walls fourth criminal conviction but the first time he received a jail sentence.
A Joliet man will serve six months in jail after pleading guilty to aggravated driving under the influence in DuPage County Circuit Court.
Parrish A. Wells, 23, was arrested in March in Naperville for being intoxicated and driving on a suspended license, according to a story in the Naperville Sun.
He will also serve two years of probation and pay $1,882 in fines and legal costs under the sentence handed down by Judge Blanche Hill Fawell.
This is Wells first jail sentence despite several previous convictions, the story said. Those include charges of driving on a suspended license in Villa Park in August 2012, for which he received two years' court supervision; criminal trespass to vehicles in Downers Grove in September 2011, for which he received 10 days in the Sheriff’s Work Alternative Program; and marijuana possession in Woodridge in 2007, for which he received 30 hours of community service work and six months' court supervision.
