Bluffton, IN- Bluffton Police Department today announced that officers made one impaired driving arrest during the Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest. March crackdown.

In addition to the impaired driving arrest, citations were issued for various other violations, including seat belt violations, speeding, and littering. A total of 66 criminal arrests, traffic citations, and warnings were issued.
“The goal of this campaign is prevention, not arrest,” said Deputy Chief Nathan Huss. “Our enforcement efforts may have increased over the last 17 days, but drivers should remember – our commitment to keeping roadways safe from impaired and dangerous drivers is a year round effort,” Huss continued.
Operation Pull Over Blitz 74 was supported by federal funding allocated to the Bluffton Police Department from the Traffic Safety division of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI). More than 250 Indiana law enforcement agencies participated in this annual, statewide enforcement effort, which generally occurs around the St. Patrick’s Day holiday.
