Woman Gets DUI After Cops Called Her A Cab

NILES, IL - A woman picked up a DUI charge in Niles earlier this month after police called her a cab ride home, according to an item from the Niles Police Department.

Maria Criollo, 43, of Chicago was charged with DUI combo alcohol/drugs at 4:37 a.m. on Oct. 8 in the 8700 block of Milwaukee Avenue in Niles.

Police say they arrived at the location to find Criollo to be intoxicated and advised her not to drive "due to her obvious level of intoxication." The police report indicates officers called a cab and placed her inside of it.

But moments later, police said Criollo was seen exiting the cab and running to her own vehicle, which she allegedly used to attempt to flee southeast on Milwaukee.
