Drivers refuse to slow down on Route 24
Holiday weekend nets 10 drunken drivers on Route 24, Interstate 195
BROCKTON —
The state police have been stepping up weekend patrols on Route 24, but drunk drivers and speeders don’t seem to be getting the message.
In the sixth week of the “patrol surge” on Route 24 and Interstate 195, state troopers said they made 10 arrests for drunk driving, 14 arrests for other charges, issued six criminal citations and 263 non-criminal citations.
One of the arrestees, Aengus Dlouhy, 44, of Dartmouth was charged with his sixth drunk driving offense. Dlouhy was arrested on Interstate 195 on Friday night. Two of the drunk driving arrests happened on Route 24.
This raises the total of drunk driving arrests to 55 since the surge began in early August. Of the 55 arrests, other than Dlouhy’s, 44 were for first offense, seven were for second offense, two were for third offense and one was for fourth offense.
Speed was also a factor in many of the citations. This weekend, three operators stopped for speeding were clocked at speeds of 104, 107, and 110 mph.
The surge deploys 11 additional patrols on Route 24 and Interstate 195 from 8 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Saturday and again from 8 p.m. Saturday to 4 a.m. Sunday.
In addition to the drunk drivers, the six-week totals for the increased patrols include:
56 other arrests,
42 criminal summons issued,
1,640 citations written for various motor vehicle violations.
The extra patrols will run through September.
