Glen Ellyn Man Pleads Guilty To Aggravated DUI In Plea Deal

GLEN ELLYN, IL — A Glen Ellyn man has pleaded guilty to aggravated DUI for a series of accidents in 2017 that damaged several vehicles and left another driver with a punctured lung and broken ribs. Lawrence Sieber, 63, was charged with five other felony charges in the incident, including aggravated fleeing and eluding, leaving the scene of an accident, aggravated reckless driving, and resisting a police officer.

These other charges were dropped as part of Sieber's plea deal, Chicago Tribune reports.

Sieber is set to appear in court again on April 9 and then on May 1 to be sentenced.
