The Nebraska State Patrol has closed-out several summer-long operations focused on specific areas of roadway safety. Troopers and dispatchers have been working overtime this summer to keep roads safe across the state.
Troopers based in Lincoln were involved in a number of enforcement operations in and around recreation areas in Cass, Gage, Lancaster, Saunders and Seward Counties. During those efforts, troopers made two arrests for driving under the influence, apprehended one fugitive and issued two citations for open alcohol container, one for minor in possession, one for reckless driving and 20 for speeding.
That effort was made possible thanks in part to a grant for $5,900 from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office. The grant period ran from June 4 through August 28.
