When police approached the car, they claim they noticed Cozart seemed impaired by drugs, and that they could smell burnt marijuana coming from inside of his car, Pfutzenreuter said.
Cozart later failed a sobriety test and was taken in to police custody, he said. He was charged with one count each of driving under the influence of drugs, driving without a valid driver’s license, operating an uninsured motor vehicle and having an expired registration, Pfutzenreuter said.
He was ordered held on $3,000 bond, and was released after posting the required 10 percent, Lake County State’s Attorney’s office spokeswoman Cythia Trujillo-Vargas said.
Cozart recently spent time in California serving a 90-day court-mandated rehab sentence after he pleaded guilty last year to testing positive for drugs while on probation, the Chicago Sun-Times has reported.
He will appear for an arraignment on the DUI charge April 11 at 9 a.m. at the Waukegan courthouse, Vargas said.
