"If you choose to drink and drive, you're not just breaking the law; you're gambling with someone else's future. Don't turn a night out into a lifetime of regret," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "Thank you to our deputies and partner agencies for continuing to protect those who drive on our roadways intending to return home safely and for removing the dangerous individuals who don't."
