CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

¯ Chautauqua County police agencies pulled over 63 vehicles during a recent STOP-DWI Memorial Day High Visibility Engagement Campaign, writing 42 vehicle and traffic tickets and charging two people with driving while intoxicated. “Removing intoxicated drivers from Chautauqua County roadways is one of our top priorities,” said Chautauqua County Sheriff James B. Quattrone. “If you choose to drink, don’t drive. Impaired drivers not only put themselves in danger, they threaten everyone who shares the road with them.” The Chautauqua County STOP-DWI Program is funded by drinking and driving fines collected from convicted drunk drivers.
