FCSO advises that drunk driving can occur anytime

The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) advises that they need to dispel the myth that impaired driving is only a Friday or Saturday night occurrence.

Tuesday morning Mar. 21 Frederick County Authorities responded to two separate incidents of impaired driving.

Both of these incidents were the result of alcohol use and included a single vehicle accident and arrest of two impaired drivers between the hours of 8 and 10 a.m.

Both drivers involved in the incidents were below the legal drinking age and were found to be at double the legal limit.

At the same time these drivers chose to drive impaired, school buses were loading and some of the heaviest traffic was traveling through the county.

Authorities are asking citizens who witness driving behavior that leads you to believe a driver may be driving impaired to report it as soon and safely as you can by calling 911.

This can only help to keep these drivers out of harm’s way of themselves and others.

If you find yourself impaired whether that be by alcohol, narcotics or even medications make the right decision to find an alternate to driving and help keep the roads safe 24/7/365.
