Woman Racks Up 6 Figure Bond for Sixth DUI: Police

NAPERVILLE— Bond has been set at $100,000 for a Chicago woman accused of her sixth DUI on Saturday.

Wanda Richardson, 52, from the West Side of Chicago was arrested on Friday evening after Naperville police say they witnessed Richardson attempt to make an illegal U-turn at the intersection of Bond Street and Diehl Road.

According to a statement from the DuPage County State's Attorney, police found a half-pint of vodka in the passenger seat of Richardson's car. The bottle was allegedly two-thirds empty.

"People have got to understand that driving is a privilege, not a right," DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said. "With ride-sharing services at your fingertips, there is no reason whatsoever that anyone should get behind the wheel of a car if they have been drinking."

Richardson is currently on parole for an aggravated DUI from 2015. If convicted, she could serve up to 30 years in prison.

Richardson is scheduled to appear in court on April 19. In addition to the DUI, she has also been charged with one count of driving while license is revoked and several misdemeanor traffic violations.
