Police Plan Saturation Patrols Tuesday Night

Cinco de Mayo is traditionally a day to celebrate with great Mexican food and cervezas or margaritas.

But the Mexican holiday comes just three days after a terrible tragedy that has residents still reeling in shock and anger--the alleged DUI crash that killed Esperanza Morales and her 14-month-old daughter Juli.

Livermore Police have announced a saturation patrol for Tuesday, with the added officers watching for drunk drivers.

The department received a grant to pay for the extra officers that night.

In addition to designating a sober driver, AAA is offering free rides home and free tows of vehicles so you’ll have your car Wednesday morning.
