LITH Woman With 3 DUIs in 19 Days To Be Sentenced Thursday

LAKE IN THE HILLS, IL - A 34-year-old Lake in the Hills woman accused of racking up three DUI arrests in 19 days could face up to 15 years in prison when she is sentenced Thursday. Tiara M. Norris, of the 800 block of Peachtree Court, pleaded guilty to aggravated DUI and driving while her license was suspended this past summer and now Judge David Kliment will need to determine if her plea brings her total overall DUI convictions and arrests to five, the Daily Herald reports. If Kliment rules she has five total DUIs during Thursday's sentencing hearing, Norris faces between four and 15 years in prison while four DUIs could land her anything from probation up to seven years in prison.

The most recent DUI occurred at about 11 p.m. on July 29, 2013, when Norris drove through the front lawn of a home on Win Haven Drive in Elgin, prosecutors said. She then got out of her vehicle andtried to enter the home, according to the Daily Herald. Her blood alcohol content was .276, which is well over the legal limit in Illinois of .08.

Norris was also charged with DUI in Kane County on July 10, 2013 and July 23, 2013, according to online court records. During the first arrest that month, she registered a BAC of .32 during a preliminary breath test after being pulled over for speeding, and on July 23, an officer found her in a car in a ditch, according to a 2013 Daily Herald article.
