Police agencies to have extra patrols for Labor Day weekend

Area law enforcement agencies will have extra patrols out this Labor Day weekend looking to stop and arrest anyone driving impaired.

Christian County Sheriff Tyler DeArmond says enjoy the weekend, but don’t get behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.

Kentucky State Trooper Corey King says there’s no excuse to drive drunk with so many options available to get a sober ride home.

KSP reminds motorists to wear their seatbelt, to slow down in construction and heavy traffic areas, to move over for first responders on the shoulder of the road, and to eliminate distractions when driving.
