Rev. Stat. 1971, ch 95%, \u00a7 11 \u2014 501), in the language:\n\u201c(D)riving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or narcotic drug, * * * then and there being under the influence of intoxicating liquor or narcotic drug, \u201d *\nThe conviction is reversed upon the authority of People v. Johnson, 16 Ill.App.3d 819, 307 N.E.2d 159, and People v. Smith, 15 Ill.App.3d 107, 303 N.E.2d 508. In Johnson, defendant pleaded guilty to charges in substantially identical language:\n\u201cIn a single count complaint, defendant was charged with offenses provided for under separate paragraphs of the statute (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 95%, \u00a7 11 \u2014 501(a) and (b)). Each paragraph charges disparate and alternative acts; each sets forth a different offense with differing necessary elements. As a result, we here : find that the complaint is \u00a1void for failure to set forth the nature and elements of the charge with certainty as required by both the federal constitution (amendment VI) and section 111 \u2014 3(a) (3) of the Code.of Criminal Procedure (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 38, \u00a7 111 \u2014 3(a) (3));. See People v. Heard, 47 Ill.2d 501, 504-505 [266 N.E.2d 340] (1970); * * *.\u2019\u2019 16 Ill.App.3d 819, 820.\nThe opinions in Johnson and Smith apply to the rule stated in People v. Heard, 47 Ill.2d 501, 266 N.E.2d 340.\nThe judgment is reversed.\n..Reversed.\nSIMKINS and KUNCE, JJ., Concur.",
