Case or Incident: #
Summary:

The Juneau Police Department asks all Juneau residents to be especially careful while driving during the winter holidays. We recognize that celebrating with family and friends may include drinking alcoholic beverages.

It is important for partygoers to be safe and not put others at risk when traveling to and from social gatherings. As a host you can help by coordinating safe rides home for guests.

If you are driving over the holidays, don?t drink. Having alcohol in your system can create a noticeable impairment. Be focused on your driving, avoid distractions such as cell phones, always wear your seatbelt and ensure your passengers are buckled up as well.

Please be careful and help us make this a safe and happy holiday season for our community.

All factual allegations contained in this release are based upon preliminary investigation and are subject to change or clarification as the investigation continues. Any charges reported in this release are merely accusations and all persons named in this release are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
