45-Year-Old Man Arrested For DUI
“Around 1:15am on Saturday February 25th, police conducting speed checks along Middle Road, Southampton noticed a motorcycle driving erratically,” a police spokesperson said.
“Officers stopped the motorcycle a short time later near the junction of Middle Road and South Road and approached the rider, a 45 year old Paget man, who appeared to be intoxicated.
“The Paget man was arrested on suspicion of impaired driving and for outstanding warrants. He was detained in police custody as a result. A court appearance is anticipated in due course.”
In addition, over the past weekend police officers arrested 15 people for outstanding warrants, and conducted liquor license checks at various liquor licensed premises throughout the island.
Why didn’t we up the taxes on alcohol?? I could write a book on how alcohol has negatively impacted this island. This is truly the elephant in the middle of the room that no-one wants to admit is there.
I agree,I can write a book on how it has negatively impacted my family. The stuff is deadly and should be illegal or at least hard to get.
Alcohol is a DANGER TO EVERY COMMUNITY ! South Carolina has truly been bitten ………….
Take a wild wild guess. Look at the family NAME of the biggest alcohol supplier on the island.
And maybe its because a certain segment of the community is still in denial when it comes to alcohol.
When my children used to visit certain friends it was common for the children to have a sip ( wink, wink ) during dinner.
Alcohol kills thousands every year, destroys families and causes violence and anger on a mass scale around the globe.
Cannabis is a non harmful medical plant which has been proven to be non addictive, a non gateway drug, isn’t bad for the lungs, does not cause violence or anger and has no history of ever being the cause of death for anything. A recent study even proved suicide is down 11% in states and provinces where it’s legal or medicinally available.
Stop making true medicine illegal while alcohol kills and maims thousands every year.
You might even be able to squeeze more tourists to Bermuda if cannabis was taxed and regulated. The city of Colorido made seven million dollars last year in cannabis permits alone not including taxes.
