I listened to the scanner this weekend while canning, and Good Grief! Four DUI arrests this weekend alone in Lewis County including a car load of kids.
How many more kids need to end up dead on our roadways before adults stand up and say no more!
No more driving impaired. No more looking the other way when kids get booze and pot.
Adults need to start taking responsibility and setting the right examples on living, not digging graves.
On the look out. If the person was not hit theres no crime.
