Jaclyn Santos-Sacramento: The Story So Far
Carly Rousso, who was cited with a DUI shortly after police say she drove her father's Lexus coupe into Jaclyn Santos-Sacramento, 5, her two brothers and her mother, appeared in front of a Lake County judge on Tuesday because the city of Highland Park requested her bond be increased, The Highland Park News reports.
Rousso's new bond conditions include a curfew from 9 p.m. till 7 a.m., no driving and no illegal substances according to Deputy Police Chief Dave Schwarz.
Police are currently investigating to see if Rousso had been under the influence of compressed gas canisters or paint thinners at the time of the crash.
"We are investigating the use of huffing agents or huffing materials with relation this accident," Deputy Chief of Support Services George Pfutzenreuter told Patch on Monday.
Rousso currently attends College of Lake County and is attending a treatment program in Lake Bluff four to five nights a week, according to Highland Park News.
The article adds that Rousso faces up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $2,500 if she is convicted of the Class A misdemeanor of driving under the influence of an intoxicating compound. However, the Lake County State's Attorney's office is still investigating and may elevate her charges to aggravated driving under the influence, which is a class two felony that can lead to a prison sentence of three to 14 years, or reckless homicide, a class three felony that can lead to probation or up to five years in prison.
Jaclyn's funeral service was held Tuesday at a church in Highwood. Family and friends attended along with Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering, City Manager David Knapp and members of the police department.
During the bilingual service at Saint James Parish, Rev. Thomas Baldonieri called Jaclyn "a joyful child" who enjoyed dressing in pink, like a princess.
"Jaclyn was born and received into loving hands and hearts," Baldonieri said. "Even now, we see just how many people are touched by Jaclyn's life and tragic death, even those who never met her."
