Driving Under Influence Of Alcohol Is Not Always Unnoticed

Another McHenry County resident found that driving under the influence does not go unnoticed nor unpunished.

McHenry County State’s Attorney Louis A. Bianchi, reports that 49-year old Daniel Bending, formerly of Marengo, was found guilty of the offenses of Driving With A Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.08 or More, causing the death of a 77-year old truck driver, as he crossed Route 20 on foot in Marengo on April 18, 2008.

A blood test revealed that Bending’s blood alcohol concentration, nearly 2 1/2 hours after striking Anderson, was 0.081. Anderson survived the initial crash, but later succumbed to his injuries.

This case was investigated by Sergeant Fritz, Detective Christian, Sergeant Riley, and Officer Bass of the Marengo Police Department and Deputy Sabol of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department.

McHenry County Assistant State’s Attorneys Patrick Kenneally, Robert Zallud and Alexander Geocaris prosecuted the case.
