Forty-nine year old Daniel Bending, formerly of Marengo, was sentenced
to five years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the offenses of
Driving with a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.08 or more, Driving Under the
Influence of Alcohol, Causing Death.
Bending was arrested after having struck 77-year old Leonard Anderson,
a 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 two and one-half
hours after striking Leonard Anderson was still over the legal limit. Anderson
survived the initial crash, but later succumbed to his injuries.
On
June 18, 2012, a McHenry County Circuit Court jury found Bending guilty of the
above-mentioned three offenses. The case was prosecuted by Assistant State’s
Attorney Patrick Kenneally, Robert Zalud, and Alexander Geocaris.
