MCHENRY COUNTY, IL — An Algonquin man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison after being convicted of his tenth drunken driving offense, according to prosecutors. Jamie Beck pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated driving under the influence before being sentenced in McHenry County Court this past week.

The charge stems from a DUI offense on March 17 when Beck crashed his motorcycle in the parking lot of a Shell gas station at 2 N. Main Street in Algonquin, McHenry County State's Attorney Patric Kenneally said in a statement.

His blood alcohol content was .253 at the time, which is more than three times the legal limit of .08, and he had nine prior DUI violations, according to Kenneally.
