Directed patrols aimed at drugged drivers
|
|
Sheriff's Office coordinates resources to crack down on drivers
|
|
|
Deputy Jeff Rudd talks to a driver pulled over during a recent directed patrol. |
Since April, the Clermont County Sheriff's Office has conducted six "directed patrols" -- coordinated efforts targeted at those driving while under the influence of drugs. To date, the patrols have made 116 traffic stops, leading to many arrests. "We were getting complaints from citizens driving to work in the morning, saying that they were seeing people weave on the road, or going left of center again and again. They would say, 'it's obvious these people are on drugs,'" said Chief Deputy Steve Leahy. "This is the time of day when addicts are waking up, getting together with other users, and then going out to buy drugs."
