Here's your driving record summary:

## 📋 Driving Record Summary — Shawndell A. Harris

**License #:** H620-7818-5167-0
**DOB:** 06/12/1985
**Address:** 1820 W 126th St Apt 1E, Calumet Park, IL 60827
**Record pulled:** 04/20/2026
**Source:** Illinois Secretary of State (official)

---

### 🪪 License Info
- **Type:** CDL Class A (with MC, Restriction C)
- **Expires:** 06/12/2027
- **Status:** Active — no current suspensions

---

### ⚠️ Convictions (3)

| Date | Offense | Location | Notes |
|------|---------|----------|-------|
| **03/10/2017** | Failure to pay fine & costs | IL (Circuit Court) | Disposed 06/12/2017 |
| **09/17/2018** | Speeding 35+ mph over limit | IL (DuPage Cty) | Disposed 10/26/2018 |
| **09/17/2018** | Improper traffic lane usage | IL (DuPage Cty) | Disposed 10/26/2018 |
| **12/19/2018** | Speeding (CMV) | OH (Municipal) | Disposed 02/15/2019 |

---

### 🚫 Suspensions (1 — cleared)
- **07/05/2019 – 09/04/2019:** Safety Responsibility Suspension (uninsured crash, accident date 05/30/2017). **Terminated.**

---

### 🏥 CDL Medical Certificates (current)
- **Most recent:** Issued 04/08/2026 by Dr. Stewart R. Logan (IL), expires 04/08/2028 — **Non-Excepted Interstate (NI)**
- You've consistently maintained your med cert since 2015 with regular renewals.

---

### ✅ Clean Items
- **No supervisions on record**
- **Insurance requirement completed** (08/31/2022)
- **No active suspensions or revocations**

---

### Bottom Line
Your record is **clean and current** — CDL active, med cert up to date, no open actions. The only blemishes are the 2017–2019 items (failure to pay, two speeding tickets from the same stop in DuPage County, one Ohio speeding in a CMV, and a short suspension from an uninsured crash that's been resolved). Nothing active would affect your CDL eligibility today.

- **DOB/Age:** 06/12/1985 (40)
- **Occupation:** Truck Driver, employed full-time
- **Income:** $69,000/yr
- **Education:** Some college, no degree
- **Dependents:** 4
- **Prior DUI:** No (first offense)

---

### 🚨 Current Arrest
- **Date:** 02/08/2026, 4:30 AM
- **Location:** Cook County, IL
- **BAC:** .136
- **Violations:** DUI + Illegal Transportation/Carry Alcohol (Driver)
- **Circumstances:** Consumed 8 shots tequila + 2–3 mixed drinks (4pm–11pm day prior). Felt no effect, denied intoxication. Fell asleep while driving alone → crash with minor self-injury. Went to hospital next day on his own.
- **Note:** Evaluator flagged that BAC is **inconsistent** with reported consumption/body weight — suggests higher tolerance than acknowledged.

---

### 🧪 Substance Use History
- **Alcohol only** — denies marijuana, THC, illicit drugs, prescription abuse
- **Pattern:** Escalating — from ½ pint 1–2x/month (ages 30–35) → pint to fifth 4–6x/month (age 37+)
- **Last reported use:** 04/25/2026 (half pint tequila + 1–2 seltzers)
- **Intoxication threshold:** Half pint hard liquor
- **Drinks alone**, admitted morning drinking 2x/month
- **Craving level:** 8/10
- **Prior therapy:** 2021/2022, ~6 months (family/childhood issues)

---

### 📊 Assessment Scores
| Scale | Result |
|-------|--------|
| Substance Use Issues | **Significantly Moderate to Severely Problematic** |
| Behavior Issues | **Mild–Moderate** (suspiciousness, anger, social avoidant) |
| Verbal/Abstract Functioning | At norm |
| Tolerance | **Marked** (.136 BAC with no perceived effect) |

---

### ⚠️ Classification: **SIGNIFICANT RISK (Level 2S, Monitoring Level C)**

**Criteria met:** 2–3 Substance Use Disorder symptoms + BAC .13+

---

### 📋 Required Interventions
1. **10 hours** DUI risk education
2. **20 hours** Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment
3. **Random urinalysis**
4. **Extended continuing care** post-discharge
5. **Mental health evaluation** by licensed provider (to rule out comorbid issues given behavioral presentation)
6. **Referral:** Midwest Treatment Center — 17933 Chappel Ave, Lansing, IL (708) 889-9742

---

### 🔍 Evaluator's Concerns
- Reported consumption amounts are **concerning and suggest more issues than disclosed**
- Inconsistencies between BAC level, body weight, and claimed intake indicate possible **under-reporting**
- Behavioral flags (anger, suspiciousness, social avoidance) warrant further mental health assessment
- Strong craving (8/10) + morning drinking pattern = **elevated risk markers**

---

### Bottom Line
First-time DUI but classified as **Significant Risk** due to high tolerance, escalating use pattern, and behavioral indicators. The evaluator believes there are likely more underlying issues than you reported. You'll need to complete the education + treatment hours, random UAs, and get a mental health eval. The referral to Midwest Treatment Center is your next step — they'll determine if additional treatment hours are needed.

Behavioral flags (anger, suspiciousness, social avoidance) warrant further mental health assessment, tell me more about what this means?

Assistant

## What the Behavioral Flags Mean

Those three terms came from the **Behavior Assessment Scale (BAS)** administered during your evaluation. Here's what each one actually refers to in this context:

---

### 😠 Anger Issues
The evaluator noted you may have difficulty managing frustration or irritability. In the context of a DUI assessment, this matters because:
- Alcohol + anger can be a dangerous combination (impaired judgment + reduced impulse control)
- It can indicate underlying stress, resentment, or unresolved emotional issues that may be contributing to your drinking pattern
- Treatment providers will want to assess whether alcohol is being used as a coping mechanism for anger/stress

### 🤨 Suspiciousness
This refers to a tendency toward mistrust or guardedness — being wary of others' motives, feeling people are "out to get you," or being reluctant to open up. In your evaluation specifically:
- The evaluator flagged that you may have **under-reported** your alcohol use
- Suspiciousness can make someone minimize or withhold information during assessments
- It can also be a barrier to engaging honestly in treatment/group settings

### 😶 Social Avoidance
This means a pattern of withdrawing from social situations, preferring isolation, or feeling uncomfortable around others. The evaluator connected this to your admission that you **usually drink alone** — which is a significant risk factor because:
- Drinking alone removes social accountability
- It can indicate using alcohol to self-medicate rather than for social enjoyment
- Isolation + heavy drinking is a pattern that tends to escalate

---

### Why They're Flagged Together

Individually, each of these is relatively common. But **together**, they form a cluster that suggests:
1. You may be using alcohol to cope with emotional discomfort rather than recreationally
2. There may be underlying mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, trauma responses) that aren't being addressed
3. These traits can make treatment engagement harder if not addressed alongside the substance use

---

### What "Further Mental Health Assessment" Actually Means

The evaluator is recommending you see a **licensed mental health provider** (therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist) for a proper evaluation — not just the DUI education classes. This would involve:
- A clinical interview to explore mood, anxiety, trauma history, and coping patterns
- Possibly standardized screening tools (PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety, etc.)
- A determination of whether there's a co-occurring disorder (depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc.) that needs treatment alongside the substance use

---

### The Practical Impact

- **It's not a diagnosis** — it's a recommendation for further evaluation
- **It won't hurt you legally** — it's standard practice when these flags come up
- **It could actually help you** — if there's an underlying issue driving the drinking, treating that is what prevents recurrence
- The treatment provider (Midwest Treatment Center) will likely coordinate this referral as part of your 20-hour SUD treatment plan

The evaluator isn't saying something is "wrong" with you — they're saying the full picture isn't clear yet and a deeper look is warranted given the combination of high tolerance, escalating use, and these behavioral patterns.

According to Illinois law, if this is a first offense, could it be reduced to a reckless driving?

**Short answer:**
Yes – an Illinois first‑offense DUI *can* be reduced to a reckless‑driving charge (often called a “wet reckless”), but it is **not automatic** and occurs only through plea negotiation with the prosecutor and approval by the judge.

**What the law and practice say**

| Source | Key point |
|--------|-----------|
| **Driver Defense Team – “Wet Reckless vs. DUI in Illinois”** (Oct 2025) | A wet reckless is a negotiated reduction from DUI to reckless driving. It is not a separate statutory offense; the plea is reached when the defense attorney leverages case weaknesses and the State agrees to amend the charge. |
| **Lafata Law – “DUI Reduced to Reckless Driving in Illinois”** (June 2026) | Illinois has no formal “wet reckless” statute. Reductions happen when the defense negotiates an amendment to the charge and a judge approves it. According to the Illinois Secretary of State’s DUI Fact Book, only about **4 %** of DUI cases that reach a court disposition end in a reduction to reckless driving. |
| **IllinoisDUI.us – “DUI charge reduced to reckless driving not completely accurate”** (Dec 2011) | Emphasizes that a reduction is not guaranteed and that the underlying case must support it (e.g., weak evidence, procedural issues, or mitigating factors). |

**When a reduction is more likely**

* **Weak or borderline evidence** – e.g., BAC close to the .08 limit, issues with the stop, field‑sobriety test administration, or breath‑/blood‑test reliability.
* **No aggravating factors** – no accident, injury, high BAC (.15+), minors in the vehicle, or prior offenses.
* **Mitigating circumstances** – willingness to enter treatment, clean record aside from the arrest, strong community ties, or completion of a DUI risk‑education program before court.
* **Prosecutorial discretion** – some State’s Attorney offices are more open to negotiating a wet reckless, especially when the defendant agrees to supervision, treatment, or other conditions.

**What a reckless‑driving plea means compared to a DUI conviction**

| Aspect | DUI conviction (first offense) | Reckless‑driving plea (from a DUI) |
|--------|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| **Statutory classification** | Class A misdemeanor (625 ILCS 5/11‑501) | Class A misdemeanor (reckless driving under 625 ILCS 5/11‑503) |
| **Jail** | Up to 1 year (rarely imposed for first offense) | Up to 1 year (likewise rare) |
| **Fines** | Up to $2,500 | Up to $2,500 |
| **License** | **Automatic 1‑year revocation** (mandatory hearing with Secretary of State) | **No automatic revocation**; license action depends on the specific reckless‑driving conviction and any associated points. |
| **Record** | **Cannot be expunged or sealed** – permanent on background checks. | Still a misdemeanor, but because it is a traffic offense rather than a DUI‑specific mark, it carries less stigma and is sometimes viewed more favorably by employers/licensing boards. |
| **Future DUI enhancements** | Prior DUI counts for aggravated sentencing (no look‑back period). | A reckless‑driving plea that originated as a DUI **can affect supervision eligibility** for a later DUI (730 ILCS 5/5‑6‑1(d)(3) – prior reckless from a plea bars supervision) and may be treated as a prior offense for enhancement under case law (*People v. Thompson*, 328 Ill. App. 3d 360). |
| **Insurance** | Typically leads to a large premium increase or non‑renewal. | Increase is usually smaller, but the conviction still appears on your driving record. |

**Practical take‑away for your situation**

* Your BAC was **.136** – well above the .08 threshold, which makes a reduction less likely but not impossible if there are procedural weaknesses (e.g., issues with the stop, test administration, or chain‑of‑custody).
* This is a **first offense** with no prior DUIs, which is a positive factor.
* To pursue a wet reckless, you would need a defense attorney to:
1. Review the police report, video (if any), and test results for any flaws.
2. Negotiate with the State’s Attorney’s office, possibly offering to complete DUI risk education, substance‑abuse treatment, or community service in exchange for an amended charge.
3. Present the agreement to the judge for approval.

**Bottom line:** Illinois law permits a first‑offense DUI to be reduced to reckless driving through plea bargaining, but it is uncommon (≈4 % of dispositions) and depends heavily on the specifics of the case and the prosecutor’s willingness to negotiate. If you are considering this route, consult a local DUI defense attorney who can assess the strength of the State’s evidence and advise on the likelihood of success.

How does it affect my CDL?

**How a “wet reckless” plea affects your CDL (Illinois driver with a CDL)**

| Outcome | FMCSA classification | Minimum disqualification* | Key points |
|---------|----------------------|---------------------------|------------|
| **DUI conviction** (first offense) | **Major offense** – “Driving under the influence of alcohol as prescribed by State law” | **1 year** (no matter whether you were in a CMV or a non‑CMV) | Automatic disqualification; the conviction stays on your record forever and triggers the 1‑year CMV ban. |
| **Wet reckless** (plea‑bargained reduction of a DUI to reckless driving **with alcohol involved**) | **Treated as an alcohol‑related driving offense** → **Major offense** under FMCSA guidance | **1 year** | FMCSA’s own materials state: *“CDL holders with any alcohol‑related driving offense – whether it is a DUI or a wet reckless conviction – are disqualified.”* Because the offense involves alcohol, it falls under the major‑offense category, not the “serious offense” (reckless driving without alcohol) which only carries a 60‑day ban. |
| **Ordinary reckless driving** (no alcohol) | **Serious offense** – “Driving recklessly” | **60 days** | This is the penalty if you plead to plain reckless driving (no alcohol). It is still a disqualification, but much shorter than the 1‑year ban for alcohol‑related offenses. |

\*Disqualification periods are minimums; they can be longer if you have prior serious/major offenses or if the offense occurred while transporting hazardous materials, etc.

### Why the wet reckless still triggers a 1‑year ban
- The FMCSA’s disqualification table (49 CFR 383.51) lists **major offenses** as those that trigger disqualification **regardless of whether the CDL holder was operating a CMV or a non‑CMV** at the time.
- The major‑offense list includes *“Driving under the influence of alcohol as prescribed by State law.”*
- Although a wet reckless is not a formal DUI conviction under Illinois statutes, the offense is **alcohol‑related**. FMCSA guidance (seen in multiple sources) explicitly treats any alcohol‑related driving offense—including a wet reckless plea—as a major offense.
- Consequently, a wet reckless leads to the same **1‑year CDL disqualification** as a DUI conviction.

### Practical implications for you
1. **If you obtain a wet reckless** (i.e., the DUI charge is amended to reckless driving with an alcohol component), expect a **1‑year disqualification** from operating any CMV.
2. The disqualification starts on the date of conviction (or the date the state notifies FMCSA, depending on how the state reports).
3. During the disqualification you may still be eligible for a non‑commercial license, but you **cannot drive a CMV** for any employer.
4. After the 1‑year period, you can apply for reinstatement (you’ll need to pay any fees, possibly retake knowledge/skills tests, and provide proof of any required treatment or education).
5. The offense stays on your driving record; while it may be viewed slightly more favorably than a DUI conviction by some employers (because it’s not labeled “DUI”), the **federal disqualification is identical**.

### What you can do
- **Consult a CDL‑savvy DUI attorney** in Illinois who understands both state traffic law and FMCSA regulations. They can evaluate whether the evidence in your case supports a wet‑reckless plea and, if so, negotiate the plea while advising you on the exact CDL impact.
- If you are currently employed as a driver, notify your employer **as soon as a conviction occurs**—FMCSA requires employers to remove disqualified drivers from CMV duty immediately.
- Consider completing any court‑ordered DUI education or substance‑abuse treatment promptly; while it does not shorten the disqualification, it demonstrates compliance and may help with reinstatement and future employment prospects.

**Bottom line:** In the eyes of the FMCSA, a wet reckless plea is treated as an alcohol‑related major offense and carries the **same 1‑year CDL disqualification** as a DUI conviction. Only a plea to *non‑alcohol* reckless driving would reduce the disqualification to 60 days.
