Fourth of July Weekend, June 28

News release CCSO.  This coming Fourth of July weekend, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office will have extra patrols working under an Oregon Department of Transportation grant for targeting drivers operating their vehicles under the influence of intoxicants. During the Fourth of July holiday period, which starts at 6 p.m. Friday, June 30, and ends on Wednesday, July 5 at 5:59 a.m., make sure you plan for a safe weekend of festivities. Statistics show us that drunk driving is a deadly epidemic in our nation. So this Fourth of July holiday and every day, remember: Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.
