Police Net Four DUI Arrests St. Paddy’s Weekend

Novato, San Rafael and Fairfax Police busted drivers for driving under the influence of alcohol last weekend.

 

Out of the 99 drivers pulled over last weekend during countywide DUI patrols, four were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

The county’s DUI taskforce “Avoid the Marin 13” searched for impaired drivers via saturation patrols during St. Patrick’s weekend, March 15-17. 

Officers administered 11 field sobriety tests during the crackdown. The San Rafael Police netted two DUI arrests and the Novato Police and Fairfax Police each made one DUI arrest. 

Last year, officers made four DUI arrests during saturation patrols on St. Patrick’s Day.

Police also issued seven moving violations, arrested one driver with a suspended license and cited 12 unlicensed drivers.

It would be nice if the comments section had "Thumbs up / Thumbs down" like the PressRead More Democrat.
