STATEMENT OF CHARGES PURSUANT TO
SUPREME COURT RULE 762(a)
Jerome Larkin, Administrator of the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, by his attorney, Christine P. Anderson, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 762(a), states that on the date Daniel Brian Concannon (hereinafter "Movant") filed a motion requesting that his name be stricken from the Roll of Attorneys, the Administrator was investigating the conduct that formed the basis for Movant’s conviction in the Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois, of the offense of reckless driving. Had Movant’s conduct been the subject of a hearing, the Administrator would have introduced the evidence described below, and that evidence would have clearly and convincingly established the misconduct indicated below:
I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
Movant’s admissions and records from the Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois, would have established the following:
1. April 6, 2012, Movant was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), in violation of 625 ILCS 5/11-501(a)(2), in Round Lake Beach, Illinois. People of the State of Illinois v. Daniel B. Concannon, 12 DT 733 (Lake County Circuit Court). On the evening of his arrest, Movant had consumed approximately two glasses of wine, two vodka tonics and four 16 ounce beers. At the time of his arrest, Movant refused to submit to field sobriety and blood-alcohol concentration testing. During the traffic stop, Movant falsely advised
