COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office and the Columbus Police Department recently took part in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over mobilization. The 25-day period helped law enforcement issue 518 traffic citations and warnings, which resulted in 22 arrests.
“Highly visible, data-driven traffic enforcement has been proven to deter impaired driving,” said Sheriff Matt Myers. “Our commitment to enforcing the law and saving lives continues throughout the year.”
About 230 Indiana police agencies joined thousands nationwide to increase roving patrols, saturation patrols, and sobriety checkpoints. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over is supported with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration funds distributed by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.
