JOLIET, IL — A 33-year-old Joliet woman with two previous DUIs including one from last August in Cook County was jailed last week in Joliet in connection with aggravated driving under the influence charges. Will County prosecutors stated that last week's arrest of Anita Moreno on a stretch of Interstate 80 in Joliet Township marks her third DUI violation. Moreno, who lives in the 0 to 100 block of Louis Road in the Preston Heights area of Joliet Township, has been charged by Will County prosecutors with two counts of aggravated DUI and one count of aggravated driving while license revoked. Moreno's previous DUIs occurred in 2010 in Will County and in August 2020 in Cook County, court records show. During the early morning hours of Oct. 6, Moreno was driving a Chevrolet car along Interstate 80 near mile marker 133 when she was under the influence of alcohol, the complaint states.
