EPD Cracking Down on Dangerous and Aggressive Driving

Last week the Evansville Police Department issued 67 tickets in less than four hours after making 69 traffic stops as part of their efforts to crack down on dangerous and aggressive driving in our community.

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day? Don't Drink & Drive
