The sheriff's office, led by Sheriff Darrian Campbell, a Republican, reported that the July bookings coincided with three targeted DUI enforcement patrols conducted throughout the month. Deputies made 40 traffic contacts during those patrols, resulting in two direct DUI arrests and dozens of other driving offenses.
According to the agency's data, the patrols also produced 17 warnings and one citation for speeding; three hazardous moving violations; and 17 warnings for other infractions — accounting for the entirety of the 40 traffic stops.
The sheriff's office published the July totals Monday as part of its "#drivesafeks" public safety campaign, an ongoing effort to reduce traffic hazards and clear local roadways of impaired motorists.
