Increased DUI patrols for Cinco de Mayo after Fresno crash.
In Fresno, California, law enforcement officers will be increasing patrols on Cinco De Mayo to target drivers who may be driving while intoxicated. According to Clovis Police Corporal Mark Bradford, the festive atmosphere could quickly turn dangerous if someone decides to drive under the influence. Over the weekend, several individuals were already arrested for DUI offenses. The consequences of a DUI can be severe, with significant financial penalties and the loss of driving privileges. The recent tragic accident involving the death of two teenagers serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of impaired driving. Fresno Police Officer Michael McCray emphasizes the importance of making responsible choices when celebrating, urging people to arrange for a safe way home, whether it be through a designated driver, rideshare service, or taxi. Despite Cinco De Mayo falling on a Monday, authorities are prepared for large crowds and are committed to ensuring public safety.
