15 Arrested in DUI Crackdown Across Montgomery County, Region

NORRISTOWN, PA — The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office arrested 15 people for driving under the influence during a crackdown over the past week, it announced Monday.

The DUI sweep began on Monday, Dec. 5, and targeted more than 40 different suspects from the Philadelphia region, including in Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, and Delaware counties, authorities said.

“We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drunk driving,” said Montgomery County Sheriff Sean P. Kilkenny. “We hope that the news of these sweeps will also serve as a deterrent to those who think they can get away with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.”

Kilkenny said that DUI offenders continue to drive after their original charges by avoiding court dates and sentencing.

The legal limit in Pennsylvania has been lowered to .08 percent.
