CENTRALIA – Centralia Police conducted a successful Halloween enforcement safety crackdown, resulting in two impaired driving arrests and four citations for seat belt and child safety seat violations.

Additionally, officers enforced the following:
– two citations for distracted driving
– two citations for speeding
– nine citations for other various offenses
– one weapon arrest made
– two fugitives apprehended
– one arrest made for aggravated battery to peace officer and resisting arrest
– six narcotics related arrests made

Law enforcement agencies across Illinois participated in this statewide effort to save lives by removing impaired drivers from the roadways and ensuring more drivers and passengers were properly buckled up.

The fall enforcement campaign, which ran from Oct. 24 through Nov. 3, was part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High. Get a DUI” initiatives.

This enforcement effort was made possible through federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
