State police arrest alleged drunk drivers
PERU — Troopers from the Indiana State Police Peru Post conducted saturation patrols targeting impaired drivers in Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Tipton and Wabash counties over the weekend.
Between midnight and 4 a.m., officers issued nine traffic citations, wrote 19 warnings, arrested three alleged drunk drivers and made two criminal arrests. A reported stolen vehicle was also recovered.
State police will continue to conduct enforcement checkpoints and roving saturation patrols in an effort to remove intoxicated drivers from Indiana roadways.
Tribe buys police training equipment
DELPHI — The Eel River Tribe of Indiana has purchased an electronic, video simulation training system for local police.
“The intent of this purchase is for the system to be used by several police departments in Carroll County, Cass County, White County and other regional departments as needed,” Mike Floyd, chief of the Eel River Tribe, said in a press release.
The system will soon be shipped from a Utah police department that bought the system new in 1999 for $36,400.
Because it is a mobile system, other county, city and regional police departments will have access to it. The equipment will be stored at the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department.
