DUI Patrol Scheduled for This Saturday in

Evangeline Parish 

Deputies with the Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Department will be conducting a Saturated Patrol in the Parish looking for Impaired Drivers. Deputies will be looking for vehicles operating illegally within the Parish.  There have been numerous accidents caused by Impaired Drivers, which have caused serious injuries and even some have been Fatal.  In order to protect the citizens of Evangeline Parish; the Sheriff's Office will be out in force to deter those who may consider drinking and driving.  The EPSO teamed up with the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission to work "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over".   We do not want anyone to fall  victim to a Drunk Driver.  Every effort that we can put forth to eliminate or discourage someone from driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage will help reduce the number of accidents in the Parish.

Sheriff Charles R. Guillory stated "I would like everyone to have a great time and be responsible.  If your going to drink please don't DRIVE have a designated DRIVER".
