SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - A former Springfield police sergeant who pleaded guilty to being drunk behind the wheel and crashing into a motorcycle was sentenced to 180 days behind bars Friday.
Two people were left with serious injuries in September 2024 after Michael Egan hit their motorcycle on East Lake Shore Drive.
Officers at the scene said Egan failed to yield the right of way and made a left turn in front of the motorcycle.
Egan pleaded guilty to aggravated DUI in November. He is sentenced to 90 days in the Sangamon County Jail up front and two years of probation. If he violates his probation, he will serve another 90 days. He will also be required to serve 300 hours of community service and make a $5,000 donation to Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Following the investigation, multiple Springfield police officers were disciplined for how they handled the investigation.Â
