WATSEKA – Iroquois County Judge Susan S. Tungate denied a defense attorney's request for a change of venue for the trial of an illegal immigrant facing aggravated drunken driving charges in connection with an accident that caused the death of a Buckley man.
Bradley attorney Joseph Anthony filed a motion last fall for a change of venue in the case against Luis Alcantar of Onarga, who has pleaded innocent to charges of aggravated drunken driving causing death. Marvin Dettmering of Buckley died from injuries in the car crash on Sept. 2, 2007.
