The days before and after Thanksgiving have proven to be a feast-of-plenty for Springfield police officers… who wrote numerous tickets and made multiple arrests during various traffic enforcement actions over a two week period.
The city says the “Click It or Ticket” and “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaigns resulted in 11 DUI arrests, five tickets for seat belt violations and four child safety seat violations.
But the enforcement actions also led to 27 arrests on other felony charges and the capture of 25 fugitives wanted for a variety of charges. Dozens of citations for speeding and driving without insurance were also issued between November 12th and 25th.
