The Centralia Police Department conducted a successful Halloween enforcement safety crackdown, resulting in 2 impaired driving arrests and 4 citations for seat belt and child safety seat violations.
Additionally, officers enforced the following:
– 2 citations for distracted driving
– 2 citations for speeding
– 9 citations for other various offenses
– 1 weapon arrest made
– 2 fugitives apprehended
– 1 arrest made for aggravated battery to peace officer and resisting arrest
– 6 narcotics related arrests made
Law enforcement agencies across Illinois participated in this statewide effort to save lives by removing impaired drivers from the roadways and ensuring more drivers and passengers were properly buckled up.
The fall enforcement campaign, which ran from Oct. 24 through Nov. 3, was part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High. Get a DUI” initiatives.
This enforcement effort was made possible through federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
