Drunk driver slams into parked squad car

On January 29, at approximately 8:20 p.m. a Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy was conducting a traffic stop in the area of Lewis Avenue and Wadsworth Road, Beach Park. The emergency lights on the deputy’s marked squad car were illuminated and the deputy was pulled to the side of Lewis Avenue. Shortly after pulling over, the deputy’s squad car was rear-ended by a northbound Chevrolet Pickup Truck.

The deputy was uninjured and exited his squad car to investigate what caused the driver of the pickup truck to strike his squad. While speaking with the driver, Jesus O. Garcia, 50, of the 2700 block of 31st Street, Zion, the deputy smelled the strong order of alcohol coming from Garcia’s breath.

Additional deputies responded and conducted a DUI investigation. Following their investigation, Garcia was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. While being taken into custody, he initially refused to comply with the instructions of sheriff’s deputies. He then complied, was successfully taken into custody, and transported to the Lake County Jail.

Garcia was charged with: DUI – Alcohol, Open Transportation of Alcohol, Resisting a Peace Officer, Failure to Yield to an Emergency Vehicle – Scott’s Law, Operating

Guilty verdicts in two separate jury trials for sexual assault

Two separate Lake County jury trials concluded with “guilty” verdicts for sexual assault cases.

Shawheen Sariri, 26, was convicted on Friday, January 20, 2023, of one count of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child, a Class X felony, and two counts of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse, a Class 2 felony.

On January 25, 2023, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office and the lead traffic crash investigator presented the facts of the case to a Lake County Grand Jury. The Grand Jury issued a True Bill of Indictment against Sprewell for two counts of Aggravated Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol Causing Death and one count of Reckless Homi-

Sariri was first charged in March 2019, after Lake Forest Police received a report from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services about a sexual assault involving a minor. The Lake Forest Police Department and the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center investigated the DCFS call, and police arrested Sariri shortly after.

Terrance Williamson, 46, was convicted late evening,

January 25, 2022, of four counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child, a Class X felony, one count of Criminal Sexual Assault, a Class 1 felony and one count of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse, a Class 2 felony.

Williamson was first charged in April 2021, after Waukegan Police received a report about a sexual assault involving three minor victims. Waukegan Police Department and the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center investigated the report, and an arrest warrant was approved shortly after, but Williamson didn’t turn himself in until June 2021, over a month after.

“Both successful trials are another example of how the critical partnership between our office and the Lake County Police Departments make the community safer. Our Children’s Advocacy Center remains one of the best tools in our justice system for protecting chil-

I want to thank the police, prosecutors, victim advocates, and State’s Attorney investigators who helped these families on their journey toward justice,” said Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart. Both offenders were held in the Lake County Jail until their trial. Sariri was originally able to post cash bail after a Lake County Judge set his bond at $250,000 in March 2019, but after Sariri was charged with two new offenses including charges of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault and Aggravated Domestic Battery, involving two unrelated additional victims, Sariri’s cash bond was revoked and he was held without bond. Rinehart added, “Sariri’s history of offending after posting so much cash further demonstrates how wealth-based detention systems do not make us safer.”

Williamson was detained in the jail on a $2 million bond and after the verdict, Presiding Judge Daniel Shanes revoked Williamson’s ability to post bond.

Because Williamson was convicted of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault on more than one victim, he is facing a mandatory life sentence. Sariri is facing up to 67 years in the department of corrections.
