Help Theo Overcome Legal Hurdles

Hey there! I’m Theo if you don’t already know me. I’ve been a local to Peoria, and the surrounding area my whole life. I make pretty good croissants at Empire coffee, love my pets, and I finally have my own place! All exciting and good but my life has been put on hold due the Peoria police department, and the city of Peoria.

I was returning from Milwaukee, WI on 4/02/25, and got pulled over in Chillicothe, IL. The officer told me that my license and plates were suspended. He then tells they are going to impound my car. Thankfully I got my meds, and work bag but my clothes, and other things I need for moving/my new house are still in there.

On 4/02/25 I went to the Peoria courthouse to talk to someone. I found out that day that I had been an issued an insurance ticket on 12/07/24. I did get to reopen my case, which vacated the ticket associated with that date.

My license and plates should have never been suspended. I had insurance. I went back to court on 4/22/25 to have the tickets from Chillicothe vacated as well. Unfortunately it was a waste of time, I have to return on 5/20/25.

I’m struggling to pay court fees, public defender, impound etc etc. Any help is greatly appreciated! This will go to any costs for court and getting my car out of the impound lot. Thank you so much!
