The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) for its “Booze It and Lose It” campaign from December 13, 2024, to January 1, 2025. The THSO’s statewide Booze It and Lose It campaign is part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over mobilization to reduce impaired-driving crashes nationwide during the holiday season.
The WCSO will be increasing their manpower on patrol shifts in an effort to combat drunk driving from now until January 1st. We will be looking to keep drunk drivers off the street leading into New Years Day due to a high volume of citizens traveling to many destinations to be with their families.
“We will be partnering with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office to combat drunk driving in an effort to prevent a tragedy from happening,” stated Sheriff Robert Bryan. “We will increase our patrols and stay vigilant during this period to provide safe travels for our citizens.”
Increased state and national messaging about the dangers of drunk driving, coupled with increased sobriety checkpoints and high visibility enforcement, aim to drastically reduce the number of drunk-driving crashes, injuries, and fatalities this year.
The consequences of a single DUI conviction for a first-time offender in the state of Tennessee may include costly fines, court costs, legal fees, jail time, mandatory drug and alcohol treatment, and/or the installation of an ignition interlock device in his/her vehicle.
The THSO provides grant funding to support the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office increased enforcement efforts during the Booze It and Lose It holiday campaign.
