Lee County Results from Over the Limit Under Arrest Campaign
Law enforcement agencies from across the U.S. participated in the national Over the Limit under Arrest campaign over the Labor Day holiday weekend. The goal of this national undertaking is to inform the public about the dangers of driving drunk, create public awareness, deter would be drunk drivers and remove intoxicated offenders from our roadways. The government, partnered with local law enforcement agencies, wants to continue to repress the ever growing number of traffic fatalities and injuries on our streets.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office in the area of Fort Myers, Florida, also participated in this campaign to curb driving under the influence. The sheriff’s office saturated the area of Ben Hill Griffin Parkway, Alico Road, Corkscrew Road and Three Oaks Parkway with patrol officers and sobriety checkpoints. Lee County organized this saturation effort to take place from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday, September 4 and 5. The campaign held by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office resulted in 6 DUI arrests, 1 arrest for driving on a suspended license, I arrest for no valid driver’s license, 5 arrests for possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor warrant arrest, 61 traffic citations and 38 traffic warnings.
If you or a loved one faces alcohol related charges, contact a knowledgeable Florida DUI attorney for assistance with your case. The circumstances surrounding each drunk driving arrest is different. An experienced attorney will provide you with the information and guidance you need to expeditiously resolve your case.
