WOODSTOCK – A Huntley woman accused of dodging a subpoena to testify against her husband in a domestic battery case was acquitted Thursday of contempt.

Caroline Hicks, 31, was charged with indirect criminal contempt after prosecutors said she did not show up for her husband's trial in June. Prosecutors had sought no more than six months in jail and a fine of $500.

Matthew R. Hicks, a former Des Plaines police officer who has since accepted a disability settlement from the department, had been charged with misdemeanor offenses after an incident in 2010.
