MAY 24, 2019 (GRAND ISLAND, NEB.) — As concert-goers and volleyball players make another attempt to set a world record at the Crazy Rayz River Bash in Spalding this weekend, Nebraska State Patrol Troopers will be working to keep drunk drivers off the road.
Troopers will conduct a special enforcement operation on Saturday and Sunday, May 25-26, focused on DUI enforcement. The effort will include saturation patrols and DUI checkpoints, working with local law enforcement agencies during the event.
“Last year, the planners and events-goers did an excellent job to keep the roads around Greeley County safe,” said Captain Russell Lewis, Commander of Troop C. “Because of a high percentage of designated drivers and accommodations made by the event planners, traffic was light on the highways last year during the event.”
Attendees are encouraged to take advantage of the safety measures organized by the event planners throughout the weekend. The enforcement effort is made possible thanks in part to a grant for $2,200 from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office.
