Lockport, Illinois – A 31-year-old woman from Lockport, identified as Tatiana Esparza, has been charged with DUI following an early morning crash on November 28th into the Midtown Bar and Grill in Manhattan, Illinois.
The incident, which occurred around 1:30 AM, resulted in significant structural damage to the bar, located at 100 S. State Street.
