Cops announce DUI crackdown

Matamoras — The Eastern Pike Regional Police Department announced Wednesday that they will be joining with thousands of other law enforcement and highway safety agencies across the nation from now to Jan. 3, to take part in the “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.” crackdown on impaired driving. “Make no mistake. Our message is simple. No matter who you are or what you drive, if we catch you driving impaired, we will arrest you. No exceptions. No excuses,” said Chief Chad Stewart. Police will be out in force conducting sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols and using undercover officers to get more drunk drivers off the road—and save lives that might otherwise be lost.
