D.U.I. enforcement reminder during St. Patrick’s Day weekend

Chief Terrence Green would like to remind the Town of Lexington community that the Lexington Police Department, along with law enforcement statewide, will be conducting increased D.U.I. enforcement activities over the St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

The Lexington Police Department Traffic Division and Patrol Division officers will be focused on D.U.I. enforcement, along with participating in public safety checkpoints with the 11^th Circuit Law Enforcement Network, and those who plan to drink alcohol are asked to have a plan to get home safe after all St. Patrick’s Day festivities.

Chief Terrence Green stated, “If you are going out this St. Patrick’s Day weekend, please get home safe with a designated driver, taxi, rideshare service, or even a tow truck.  Don’t press your luck as there are too many lives at risk when you get behind the wheel intoxicated.”
