POLICE HOLIDAY TASK FORCE ARRESTS 24 FOR DUI IN THANKSGIVING EVE OPERATION

The Montgomery County Police Holiday Task Force hauled in 24 drivers for DUI in a Thanksgiving Eve anti-drunk-driving operation. In all, police said, Task Force officers interacted with 291 citizens, and issued 253 traffic citations, 127 warnings, 32 equipment repair orders, 9 criminal violations, and 2 civil violations.

Among alcohol-related offenses were underage drinking and public urination. At least 5 of the drivers alleged to be driving under the influence Wednesday night, and early Thursday morning, were taken to the Bethesda 2nd District Police Station.

Source is the police..who else did you think?

Erol said...

Sure. But he should provide a source/reference link if he's using their data.

Every crime story on The Washington Post, WTOP, Gazette, etc. has a link to the a police webpage?
There's no such thing, Erol.

How many of the DUI's were Dyers? I'm betting half.

The data is from the Montgomery County Police Department, just as I wrote in the story. Stop trolling.

@ 3:55 PM -

Actually, it should be "DUIs" and "Dyer's". Acronyms and abbreviations do not use apostrophe for nominative plural. "Dyer's...arrests" is of course possessive singular and has an apostrophe followed by an "s".

Sorry, I misquoted you, @ 3:55 PM.

That should have been "Dyer's... DUIs", not "Dyer's... arrests".

The stories say "blank blank happened, according to the police."

That's typically how you let people know you aren't just pulling facts out of your ass.

5:42: And that's exactly what my story said. "In all, police said," is about as clear as it gets.
