3x as many males were arrested for drunk driving than females in 2014
Amherst Police made no arrests for drunk driving over the long holiday weekend, a time when alcohol consumption probably goes up a tad.
Although, like rowdy student behavior, that can be weather related and Memorial Day itself was a bit wet for outdoor barbecues.
One arrest did occur in Amherst, however, by Amherst College Police Department. Yes, they do have power of arrest and will sometimes come to the aid of our police on busy nights when APD low staffing inhibits proper responses.

I saw a couple of bad crashes this weekend, anything going on with them? On was on Rt 9 and the cars were mangled..... Hear anything on the scanner LK?
ReplyDeleteI don't think they were alcohol related.
ReplyDeleteTexting while driving is probably more dangerous than DUI.
0.0259 BAC? its not above the legal limit 0.08. Is that a mistype? Am I missing something? I hope it doesn't get the guy off? If it does then I've got to wonder if its deliberate on AC police, so this rich alumni doesn't get in trouble....
ReplyDeleteI think he meant .259 (or more than three times the legal limit).
ReplyDeletere: the Rt. 9 crash is still being investigated. There is some question of "impairment" by the at fault driver - stay tuned. My son walked away, fortunately. He was wearing his seatbelt. AFD and APD could not have been nicer or more efficient.
