Prosecutor fired for DUI in Illinois

Former Assistant State's Attorney Thomas H. Nevins was at work the day he was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence.

Nevins was fired by State's Attorney Thomas Gibbons this week.

"At this time, we have no information to suggest he was he drinking while performing his duties as a felony prosecutor," according to spokesperson for the Madison County State's Attorney's Office.

Nevins was stopped by Edwardsville police on Thursday in the 200 block of Conventry Place after they received complaints that a 2010 black Subaru Outback was driving across the center line. In the law enforcement sworn statement, police stated that Nevins smelled strongly of alcohol, had glazed eyes, appeared disoriented and admitted drinking and was unsteady on his feet.
