(Freeport, IL) — The truck driver who struck and killed Illinois State Police Trooper Brooke Jones-Story is facing jail time. Craig Dittmar was sentenced yesterday to 180 days in jail, four years of probation, a three-thousand-dollar fine and court costs. Dittmar says he fell asleep at the wheel before he hit Jones-Story, who was inspecting a semi on the side of Route 20 east of Freeport in March 2019. She was the third trooper to die in 2019 because of a Scott’s Law violation.
