Police arrested a man in Deerfield after finding him driving under the influence for the third time while having a child in his car and two guns in his possession.
Kevin J. LaFriske, 35, of Deerfield, was charged with two counts of aggravated driving under the influence, two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving, illegal transportation of alcohol, child endangerment and two counts of possession of a concealed firearm while under the influence.
Officers with the Deerfield Police Department responded around 10:30 p.m. on August 9 to the area of Waukegan Road and Warrick Road for a noise complaint.
A 911 caller reported a vehicle was squealing its tires and doing burnouts in the area, according to a police report.
Officers stopped LaFriske’s 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and the man admitted to doing a donut and burnout in the parking lot.
Officers ordered LaFriske out of the vehicle and detained him after spotting a black pistol in the center console, the police report said. Officers also found a second gun in the car.
A child who was in the car at the time was turned over to a guardian.
Officers noticed LaFriske had a strong odor of alcohol and bloodshot glassy eyes.
LaFriske performed field sobriety tests “poorly” and a breathalyzer test showed .194, which is over twice the legal limit, according to the police report.
Records show LaFriske had two prior convictions for driving under the influence.
LaFriske was taken into custody and transported to the Deerfield Police Department.
A Lake County judge ordered him held on a $150,000 bond. He remains held in the Lake County Jail and would need to post $15,000 cash in order to be released.
