Chicago DUI Dismissed Against Playboy Centerfold

Interesting Chicago DUI story regarding a Playboy centerfold who was accused of drunk driving.

DUI charge dropped against Playboy centerfold in Chicago

By RUMMANA HUSSAIN Criminal Courts Reporter

Prosecutors in Chicago dropped drunk-driving charges against Playboy centerfold model Crystal McCahill today, her lawyer said.

But McCahill — a 5-foot-7 brunette who was Playboy’s Miss May 2009 — pleaded guilty to running a red light. For that traffic offense, the Chicago woman was ordered to pay a $100 fine and given court supervision.

In a ruling in December, Cook County Judge Thomas V. Lyons had agreed with McCahill that Chicago police didn’t have sufficient cause to charge her with DUI after pulling her over for driving her 2005 Volkswagen Passat through a stop light at Chicago and Wood on the city’s Near North Side on Jan. 7, 2009.

The police said McCahill voluntarily accompanied an officer to the 13th District station.

McCahill’s lawyer disputed that, saying she thought she was under arrest. He argued there wasn’t cause to arrest her because the officer hadn’t performed a field-sobriety test.

Just goes to show what a quality Chicago DUI Attorney can do. Police make these types of mistakes all the time.
