People v. Seefeldt

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided January 26, 1983No. 82-4PublishedCited by 17 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

PRESIDING JUSTICE SEIDENFELD

delivered the opinion of the court:

The defendant, Neil Seefeldt, was arrested on May 21, 1981, and charged with driving a vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. He was convicted after a jury trial and ordered released on conditional discharge. He appeals, contending that where, as here, no chemical analysis of the defendant’s bodily substances has been undertaken, the standard “under the influence of intoxicating liquor,” which is not further defined, causes the statute to be void for vagueness and cannot support the charge.
