JUST IN TIME FOR THE FAIR

CAP CITY

The Sangamon County sheriff’s offi ce, which has seen numbers of drunken driving arrests plummet since eliminating the department’s only full-time DUI enforcement offi cer last year, warns that deputies will be on the lookout for drunken drivers from Aug. 16 through Sept. 2 as part of a state and federally funded enforcement campaign. The sheriff’s department also says it will be watching for drivers and passengers traveling without benefi t of seat belts. “Zero tolerance will be shown for seat belt violators, in the front and back seat,” undersheriff Jack Campbell said in a written statement. So don’t overdo it in the beer tents and, if you do, stumble, don’t drive, home. You’ve been warned.
