Driver Arrested on DUI Returns to Police Station to Spit on Squad Cars: Cops

The following information is from the Wilmette Police Department. An arrest is not an indication of guilt.

William Weir, 21, of the 100 block of Park Avenue, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after he registered a blood-alcohol level almost twice over the legal limit during a May 7 traffic stop.

Police pulled over Weir at about 10:53 p.m. in the 1000 Block of Isabella Street because of an equipment violation with his vehicle. During the stop, Weir failed field sobriety tests and was taken into custody. Two passengers in the vehicle—Noah Bucksbaum, 21, of the 500 block of Echo Lane, Glenview; and Ross Brown, 21, of the 1100 block of Virginia Lane—were cited for marijuana possession and released at the scene.

At the station, Weir took a breath test, and his BAC registered 0.118. The legal limit is 0.08.

After being released from police custody, Weir went to the hospital, although the report does not explain why. After he was released from the hospital, Weir walked back to the police station at about 11 a.m. May 8 in order to pick up his car, which had been towed.

At the police department, Weir spit on three parked squad cars, according to the report. He was then arrested and charged with vandalism and disorderly conduct. Weir was released on $150 bail.
