“The ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Police Department discourages drivers from drinking and driving. If you choose to consume alcohol, utilize a designated sober driver, taxicab, or ride share service to avoid putting lives at risk,†the news release said. “Driving under the influence is against the law and 100% preventable. Please, make the right choice and have a safe and enjoyable weekend.â€
