Wauconda Woman Arrested After DUI Crash Damages Moose Lodge, Parked Cars

Jamie Spratt, a 47-year-old woman from Wauconda, was arrested after crashing her white Lincoln Navigator into two parked vehicles and then through the north side of the Moose Lodge, causing significant structural damage. The crash occurred while Spratt was reversing out of a parking space, during which she claimed her gas pedal got stuck. Her 13-year-old daughter was in the front passenger seat at the time but was unharmed, as was a woman inside the Moose Lodge who sustained minor injuries but declined hospital transport. Police found Spratt’s blood alcohol concentration to be 0.185, more than twice the legal limit, leading to multiple charges including DUI, reckless driving, child endangerment, and illegal transportation of alcohol. Wauconda Police Chief David Wermes emphasized the seriousness of driving under the influence and expressed relief that no one was seriously hurt. Spratt has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on August 7.
