Summer 'Drive Sober' Campaign Yields 15 Arrests in Hackettstown

Hackettstown Police have been busy for the last two weeks.

Police participated in the 2013 "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign along with other state, county and municipal law enforcement agencies in New Jersey and around the country. The goal of the campaign is for police to diligently enforce traffic laws during the last two weeks of summer.

The campaign in Hackettstown lasted from August 16 to Monday, according to Sgt. Darren Tynan of the Hackettstown Police Department. In that time period, Tynan said, police made four arrests for driving while intoxicated, four arrests for drugs and seven felony arrests.

Police also gave out 12 tickets for driving without a seatbelt, six for driving with a suspended license, four for driving without insurance and 20 for speeding.

Additionally police apprehended 15 fugitives, gave out two tickets for reckless driving and issued "126 other moving and non-moving tickets."
