Don’t Drink and Drive
“Death and injury due to driving under the influence is 100% preventable. Those who choose to drink must also choose not to endanger our community by getting behind the wheel. For those who ignore this responsibility and hurt someone, the full resources of this office will work to see that justice is served. I ask all members of our community, young, old and in between, to drink responsibly and do the right thing–don’t drink and drive.”
– TIM WARD, DISTRICT ATTORNEY
