Teinowitz pleaded guilty Thursday to the misdemeanor and said to the judge the arrest ?was probably the best thing that ever happened to me.? The 50 year old host of the ?The Afternoon Saloon? on WMVP-AM 1000 Chicago pleaded guilty at the Skokie branch of Cook County Circuit Court to one count of misdemeanor DUI. Police say back in March Teinowitz failed a field sobriety test and was cited for DUI and improper lane usage. Police said that breathalyzer results showed that his blood-alcohol content was 0.131, above the 0.08 legal limit. Teinowitz was given 18 months conditional discharge and sentenced to 240 hours of community service. He must also pay court fees and fines totaling $2,175 and take part in a victim impact panel on the dangers of drinking and driving.
