Police in Santa Maria Targeting Drunk Drivers
Law enforcement officers with the Santa Maria Police Department are getting ready to step up their efforts to catch drunk drivers. According to KEYT News Channel Three, they’re going to be out in full force this holiday season. Last weekend, police officers in Santa Maria arrested six people for DUI and gave out three open container citations.
The holiday season traditionally brings a spike in fatal and injury crashes caused by drunk drivers, so partygoers are encouraged to play it safe this holiday season. Buzzed driving is drunk driving too, so even if you’ve “only had a few,” make sure to find a safe ride home.
