“We’d like to wish all of our residents and visitors a very Happy New Year, with safety as our number one priority,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “If you plan to drink, don’t plan to drive. There are many other ways to get home safely. Our deputies will be actively looking for and arresting impaired drivers. You don’t want to start out 2024 in the Green Roof Inn! Driving drunk or high gets you a DUI.”
