JSO announced the results of a recent operation that led to 33 DUI-related arrests over the Thanksgiving holiday.
At the conference, newly sworn-in Sheriff T.K. Waters said the sheriff’s office will have a “renewed focus” on impaired driving with a “heavy focus” on aggressive driving, street racing and roadway takeovers, and also vowed to make roadways safer as the holiday season gears up by increasing the number of officers on the lookout for anyone behind the wheel when they shouldn’t be.
Robert Wilhite was killed on August 13, 2011, after spending some time at a local pub and driving home. At the news conference, Lamb thanked not only his officers for their commitment to proactive work but also acknowledged the public’s responsibility in ensuring traffic safety. On Friday night, News4JAX visited the Five Points neighborhood, speaking with restaurant and bar patrons — who agree that everyone needs to take the crackdown seriously.
