Drinking And Driving Warning Issued

The Williams County Sheriff’s depart­ment reminds dri­vers that the nation­wide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” cam­paign is in full effect, and it is being enforced locally too. The height­ened enforce­ment period began on August 21st and it runs through Mon­day, August 31st. Grant money from the Depart­ment of Pub­lic Safety has pro­vided the sheriff’s depart­ment with addi­tional fund­ing to put extra deputies on patrol look­ing specif­i­cally for impaired dri­vers. The sher­iff reminds every­one that dri­vers should drink respon­si­bly and also that “Buzzed dri­ving is drunk dri­ving.” A zero tol­er­ance stance is being taken dur­ing the enforce­ment period.
