  Christian F. Calias Aguilar could face up to nineteen years
• 0:21
  in prison if convicted of permanently injuring two motorcycle riders
• 0:25
  last summer. First, he needs to persuade a judge not
• 0:29
  to jail him ahead of trial. Kyahas Aguilar, twenty five,
• 0:33
  of Addison, was picked up Tuesday on a LaSalle County
• 0:36
  warrant charging him with four felonies stemming from an August
• 0:40
  twenty ninth crash near Sheridan that injured two motorcycle riders.
• 0:44
  He could face up to nineteen years in prison. Kyahas

  Aguilar appeared Wednesday in LaSalle County Circuit Court, where he
• 0:51
  advised Judge James A. Andreoni he wants to confer with
• 0:55
  a private attorney before his detention hearing, now scheduled for
• 0:58
  one pm Friday. The outcome would be precedent setting. LaSalle

  County prosecutors successfully argued for holding the suspect in a
• 1:06
  fatal dui, but there has been no test case for
• 1:09
  detaining a suspect in a non fatal dui. Though no

  According to a new court filing, kalaihas Aguilar fled the

  crash scene on North forty second Road and was found
• 1:27
  a short distance away in a ditch behind the wheel
• 1:30
  of a Ford Equinox. The vehicle had sustained front end
• 1:33
  damage consistent with a crash. Kayehas Aguilar was transported to
• 1:38
  a nearby hospital but was uncooperative. Court records show. Ultimately,
• 1:42
  he provided a blood sample that showed a blood alcohol
• 1:46
  concentration of point two thirty nine, nearly three times the
• 1:49
  legal limit. According to records, his potential sentencing range is complicated.
• 1:55
  He is charged with two counts of failure to report
• 1:58
  an accident with injury, a class two felony carrying three
• 2:01
  to seven years, and two counts of aggravated DUI resulting
• 2:05
  in bodily injury, a class four felony carrying a special
• 2:09
  sentencing range of one to twelve years. He could be

  made to serve the twin sentences back to back and
• 2:15
  would have to complete at least eighty five percent of

  any prison time for aggravated dui
