Last night the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office had a full shift of Deputy Sheriffs answering 911 calls and operating as a normal patrol body, then additional Deputies on directed patrols searching for signs of impaired driving. The directed patrols were funded by the Governor’s Highway Safety Program.
Three drivers were arrested by Deputy Sheriffs for driving under the influence. Two were arrested near Saint Albans. One was related to alcohol, the other was under the influence of marijuana. A third driver was arrested in Elkview following his single-vehicle crash.
Additional information on the arrests is inaccessible at this time, but may be available later today or tomorrow.
The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office places a strong emphasis on safe driving for the well being of each driver, their passengers, and those traveling around them. Please continue to drive carefully, and have a happy new year.
