Three Years Incarceration After Fourth DUI Violation

Dale Frohling, Ringwood, was sentenced to three years in the Department of Corrections on December 14 for the offense of Aggravated Driving Under the Influence following a trial in McHenry County Courts handled by the McHenry county State's Attorney's Office.

Frohling was previously found guilty by a jury on September 29. During that trial evidence revealed that Frohling was unable to navigate a simple curve and crashed into bushes and a tree off the roadway. Frohling was transported to a hospital for treatment.

A forensic toxicologist testified at the trial that the defendant's blood alcohol level was between .117 and .149 at the time of the crash. The presumptive level of intoxication in Illinois is .08. This was Frohling's fourth violation of the DUI statute. The case was investigated by Deputy Jazak of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department and prosecuted for the State by Assistant State's Attorneys Sharyl Eisenstein and Ryan Blackney.
