Police On High Alert for Drunk Drivers This Weekend
Cinco de Mayo, Kentucky Derby and other events this weekend mean Fairfax County Police officers will be on the lookout for DWIs.
With multiple festivals, parties and events such as the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo celebrations throughout the weekend, the Fairfax County Police Department will be busy on DWI patrol in the county.
PIO Lucy Caldwell said in an email to Patch that it's likely many people will include alcohol in their celebrations this weekend.
"We strongly encourage revelers not to drink and drive and to assign a non-drinking person to be the designated driver," she said.
