3rd DUI Charge For Godley Man Accused Of Harming Kitten

BRAIDWOOD, IL — Exactly two weeks before Will County Sheriff's deputies arrested John Segerberg of Godley in connection with allegations he intentionally injured the brain of a little kitten, the former Braidwood man was picked up for his third drunken driving arrest, according to Will County prosecutors.

Segerberg's aggravated driving under the influence complaint states that at 10:56 p.m. on March 17, the 34-year-old man was under the influence of alcohol while driving a silver 2005 Dodge Neon on Stripmine Road in Wilmington.

The criminal complaint indicates that Segerberg's previous DUI convictions occurred on March 26, 2022, here in Will County and back on Nov. 13, 2013 in Cook County with "said violation being a third violation."

In addition to facing two counts of aggravated DUI, Segerberg was also charged on March 21 with driving while license suspended.

At the time of his March 17 arrest by Will County deputies, Segerberg stated he lived in the 400 block of West Main Street in Braidwood.

Within 16 hours of that arrest, Segerberg was freed after posting 10 percent of his $25,000 bail. After his animal cruelty arrest last Friday, March 31, Segerberg spent about 17 hours in the Will County Jail until being released after posting 10 percent of his $15,000 bail.

In the felony DUI case, Segerberg is being represented by downtown Joliet lawyer Joel Murphy of Joel Murphy & Associates.
