Criminal activity over the Labor Day weekend was a mixed bag for the Chattanooga Police Department with a handful of DUI arrests and an officer-involved shooting.
From midnight Friday through 11:59 p.m. Monday night, Chattanooga police arrested 10 people for driving under the influence.
Sgt. Justin Kilgore with the department’s traffic unit said they don’t cast projections for expected arrests on holiday weekends.
“The Chattanooga Police Department DUI Unit does not work off of expectations on how many people they can arrest over a particular holiday,” Kilgore said in an emailed statement. “What they do is always work to enforce the laws in order to keep our citizens safe.”
“We always hope that people are listening to PSA’s and are learning how dangerous drinking and driving is no matter what time of the year it is,” he added.
