A man was cited Wednesday for striking a Cook County Sheriff's Deputy with the vehicle he was driving.
The driver received multiple tickets, including driving under influence of alcohol, driving under the influence of drugs, driving on a suspended license, possession of alcohol in a motor vehicle and not using proper care to avoid pedestrians in the roadway.
According to the sheriff's office, the deputy approached the driver just before 11 a.m. Wednesday morning on Randolph Street to ask the man how long he had been parked there. The driver allegedly drove toward the deputy as the deputy was approaching the car, striking the deputy in the leg as he repeatedly told the man to stop.
The man then reportedly stopped his vehicle and as the deputy interviewed him, he noticed an empty 40-ounce alcohol bottle in the man's lap, said the man had bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol.
The Chicago Police arrested the man. His court date is set for March 23.
