'Fireball Whiskey Mom' Charged With DUI: COPS

A Bridgeivew woman was arrested after a 911 caller reported seeing a car driving erratically through Palos Hills, prosecutors said.

Angela Atik, 38, appeared before Cook County Judge Donald Havis on charges of aggravated DUI. She received supervision for a similar charge last year in Will County.

Palos Hills police went looking for a possibly impaired driver, later identified as Atik, in response to a 911 call from another motorist early Wednesday morning, the prosecutor said.

When police eventually caught up with her, officers said they found an almost empty bottle of Fireball whiskey in Atik’s vehicle.

The assistant public defender told the judge that Atik was the mother of three children, two of whom still live at home.

The prosecutor said Atik’s license was suspended as a result of her DUI in Will County.

Atik was released on a $10,000 I-bond. She’s due back in court March 8 in Bridgeview.
