Bodycam video released on Friday shows – according to prosecutors – that it took nine police officers to subdue a drunk driver who had just rammed into a car carrying a teen couple in Hoffman Estates earlier this month, killing them both.
One of the officers finally used a stun gun to subdue Dani Rubio, 32, who had a blood alcohol content nearly twice the legal limit and was carrying crack cocaine in his pocket, according to Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Aldina Vulic.
Relatives said the two had been dating for three years and were on their way to work on the morning of June 10th.Mazeikis was driving south on Barrington Road in a Honda Civic, with Tudela in the passenger seat, when Rubio sped through a red light while heading east on Higgins Road, his Dodge Durango crashing into the side of the Honda, Vulic said.
The officers began struggling with him and Rubio grabbed one of the officer’s gun and removed it from the holster, she said. Police used a stun gun and took him into custody, Vulic said."I learned today at the courthouse, that it was not only alcohol, but there were drugs involved. No amount of time will do justice for DJ and Amelia," said Krystal Tudela, D’Shaun Tudela’s mom.
