dui check point cedar key

Saturday, August 18, 2007, the Cedar Key Police Department, in conjunction with personnel from the Levy County Sheriffs Department, conducted a DUI Checkpoint in the area of the NAPA Store on SR24. No DUI arrests were made, but several people received traffic citations for various violations. Sgt. Scott Finnen, LCSO, spearheaded the checkpoint and did an excellent job. Also present were two people from the Florida Department of Transportation; Mr. Randal G. Smith, Traffic Safety Administrator, State Safety Office, Tallahassee and Ms. Kathryn Nelson, Law Enforcement Liaison, Panhandle Region, Tallahassee, who observed the operation. Both officials appeared to be well pleased with the rapport between the two agencies involved. The Sheriffs Department continues to assist your Police Department when we request them, and it is great enjoying the on-going camaraderie between the two agencies.
