Lake Bluff Police Crackdown Nets Three Arrests

Three DUI arrests and four seat belt citations were levied out by the Lake Bluff Police Department as part of their ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ holiday crackdown on drunk driving. The campaign began on December 19 and concluded on January 4.

“Drunk driving is deadly and people can get too wrapped up in the excitement of the holidays and make some seriously bad decisions,” said Lake Bluff Chief of Police David Belmonte. “The bottom line is if you have been drinking alcohol, you don’t belong behind the wheel. Never drink and drive.”

The recent law enforcement crackdown was funded by federal traffic safety funds through the Illinois Department of Transportation and is part of the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket campaigns.
