DUI, Texting while driving
At 1:35 a.m. on Feb. 1, Patrick Thomas Graham, age 47, of Libertyville, was stopped by police on Cook Street near Lange Court after he was seen stopped at a stop sign for an unusually long time with his driver’s side tires slightly over the median line, according to police.
