Teen plans upright life after conviction

URBANA – A Rantoul teen convicted of resisting and obstructing police in a north Champaign park more than a year ago told the judge sentencing him Friday that he has changed since then.

"My mom raised me to be respectful," said Brian Chesley, 19, whose refusal to stop to answer a police officer's questions on March 30, 2007, resulted in a misdemeanor conviction.
