Bodycam Video Shows Off-Duty ICE Agent Charged With DUI After Oak Brook Crash

Police video released through records requests shows failed tests, a breath-test refusal, the driver’s 18-hour shift claim, with a Dec. 5 arraignment pending.

Overview

  • Guillermo Diaz-Torres, 33, of Albuquerque, faces DUI charges after a Oct. 26 one-car crash that left a rented Kia in a hedgerow on the Oak BrookWestmont border.
  • Officers say he failed field-sobriety tests; the recording shows he denied drinking, declined a breath analysis, and was arrested without resistance.
  • On video, Diaz-Torres tells police he had just finished an 18-hour shift at ICE’s Broadview holding facility and was driving to a Lombard hotel.
  • A Westmont officer is heard noting a firearm in a backpack in the vehicle’s backseat, and an ICE supervisor, Joel Canedo, later retrieved the agent from custody.
  • Court records set a Dec. 5 DuPage County appearance and note a possible license suspension for refusing the breath test, while ICE says it is reviewing the incident.
