THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. CHARLES ATWELL, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois — Fourth District.

Opinion filed December 28, 1984.

Daniel D. Yuhas and Diana N. Cherry, both of State Appellate Defender's Office, of Springfield, for appellant.

Affirmed in part and vacated in part.

JUSTICE MILLS delivered the opinion of the court:

Atwell was convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol and of driving while the alcohol concentration in his blood or breath was 0.10 or more.

We affirm one.

We vacate the other.

The only contested issues on appeal are whether the complaints stated a criminal offense and sufficiently informed defendant of the charges against him.
