PEORIA
– A woman charged in connection with a fatal hit-and-run wreck in February had a blood alcohol content at nearly three times the legal limit, according to court records.
Blood and urine samples taken from Diana Schick, 40, the night of the crash showed the presence of alcohol, cocaine and marijuana in her system, according to an affidavit for a search warrant filed by Peoria police.
Schick s blood alcohol content was .235, according to an affidavit obtained by the Journal Star. The legal limit to drive in Illinois is .08.
The document also said that a police officer on Feb. 11 started a field sobriety test which showed signs of impairment, but the test was stopped as Schick was being treated for injuries.

BRIMFIELD If he was awake, he was helping someone else, Bob Forney s sons said a day after the Brimfield fire chief lost his seven-week battle with the COVID-19 virus.
Forney, 58, dedicated his life to helping others and gave of himself without thought, said Jacob Forney, himself a firefighter in Kewanee. He wasn’t just a dad, he was a mechanic, he was a carpenter, he was the maintenance guy, he said.
Added one of Bob Forney s other sons, Zachery, also a Brimfield firefighter: He was involved in everything. He helped with 4-H. He really had his hand in everything.
It wasn t clear how Bob Forney contracted the virus a few days prior to going into the hospital. He and his wife of 36 years, Robin, were quarantining at their home for a few days before he began to have respiratory troubles.
