Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over

The Clemson city police and the Oconee Sheriff’s Office are among local and area law enforcement agencies who remind everyone that the celebratory nature this weekend of a day that has its roots centuries ago in Ireland is a time to have good, clean fun, but can be a dangerous time if you drive and drink. St. Patrick’s Day is Tuesday next week, but Sheriff Crenshaw says many people will celebrate this weekend. Whether you are attending a private party or a public event, everyone is asked to keep in mind the need to always have a designated driver or use a ride-sharing service if you plan to consume alcohol. Remember to never drink and drive. Alcohol consumption impairs the ability to operate a motor vehicle. It’s always good to keep in mind the phrase drive sober or get pulled over.
