We do hope that everyone enjoys the upcoming Labor Day weekend, however, we urge those that may opt to drive under the influence to seriously reconsider. Officers across Newport County will be out in force looking for offenders. From January 1st to September 1st of this year the Tiverton Police Department alone has made 95 DUI arrests and will not hesitate to add to that number if you are found to be driving impaired over the course of this weekend. Enjoy the holiday, but be smart and drive sober, or find an alternate way of transportation to your destination! For example, Uber or Lyft.
