DUI Wolfpack to Prowl in Manatee

The Florida Highway Patrol is not disclosing just yet the exact date, time or location of its next DUI Wolfpack Detail – only that it will take place in June. Manatee County is the targeted area.

Drivers, nevertheless, should heed the warnings in advance from the FHP, which plans to pull over motorists who are driving under the influence.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol: "Troopers conducting the detail will be mobile while monitoring traffic in an effort to maximize their visibility and effectiveness in removing impaired drivers from the roadways in Manatee County, Florida"

No one should ever be driving impaired by alcohols or drugs. But advance warning of this sting operation should be enough to keep drivers obeying the law. After all, who wants to see his or her photo on Florida Mugshots.com?

Florida law considers a driver with .08 or higher Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) to be impaired. 

Drivers under the age of 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher are also in violation of Florida law.

Need to report an unsafe, impaired or aggressive driver? Dial *FHP (*347) from any cell phone to contact the FHP .

The date and time of the DUI Wolfpack Detail will be announced soon.
