State Rep. Parker Still Awaiting Trial
The representative's trial was scheduled to begin Monday but was continued.
Although State Rep. Cherelle Parker, D-200th, who was arrested several months ago for DUI, was in court Monday morning at the Criminal Justice Center on Filbert Street, her trial did not begin.
It was continued until next month because an officer needed for the trial is on vacation.
Parker, whose district includes Andorra, was arrested and charged with DUI in early May.
