Hernando County, FL – Six drivers were arrested this past weekend during a DUI enforcement operation by the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit, according to a social media release Sunday. Deputies said the arrests were part of a weekend-long effort to reduce impaired driving and improve roadway safety.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, several other motorists were cited for excessive speeding, including one driver on Mariner Boulevard who was clocked at 93 mph in a 45 mph zone. That driver received a mandatory court date.
Officials said the increased enforcement comes as part of an ongoing initiative to curb dangerous driving behaviors, especially on major county roads such as Mariner Blvd and other high-traffic corridors.
The Sheriff’s Office is urging residents to slow down and never drive under the influence, reminding drivers that speed limits and DUI laws are designed to keep the community safe.
“Let’s all do our part to keep our roads safe for our families and neighbors,” the agency posted.
