Daughter of Supreme Court justice charged in DUI
By Angela Rozas
Tribune staff reporter
A daughter of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was arrested
Monday night in Wheaton and charged with driving under the influence
of alcohol and child endangerment, Wheaton Deputy Police Chief Thomas
Meloni said.
Ann S. Banaszewski, 45, was stopped about 7:25 p.m. in a 1996 Ford
Econoline van near Gamon Road and Longfellow Drive after a citizen
reported a possible drunken driver was at the McDonald's restaurant
near there, Meloni said.
Three of Banaszewski's "small children" were in the van with her at
the time, leading to the child endangerment charge, Meloni said.
He would not disclose their ages.
Meloni would also not disclose details of her alleged intoxication,
but said she submitted to a field sobriety test, though he could not
disclose its outcome.
"Probable cause was established to arrest and charge the driver with
DUI," Meloni said.
Banaszewski was taken to the Wheaton Police Station, where she was
released on her own recognizance, Meloni said.
A police officer dropped her children at a family friend's home, a
"common practice" when someone is arrested with children, he said.
A court date has not been scheduled, he said.
Meloni said police knew Banaszewski was one of Scalia's daughters
because of "previous contact with the justice" and "common knowledge"
in the Wheaton Police Department.
Meloni said he has never spoken to Scalia directly, but the
department's police officers routinely patrol Banaszewski's
neighborhood to ensure her safety, a courtesy the department extends
for others associated with law enforcement, the court system or anyone
who requests extra patrols.
Banaszewski, reached by phone at home, declined to speak about the
arrest, or whether she was Scalia's daughter.
"I have no information and I certainly would not speak with a reporter
about my father," she said.
