Northwest Indiana- This past weekend, troopers from the Lowell Post had a busy late shift (6p-6a). Troopers were focused on criminal and traffic activity on I-80. As a result of their efforts, 50 criminal arrests were recorded, with 18 of those being individuals charged with Reckless Driving as a result of their dangerous high speed while driving on I-80/94. Eight individuals were arrested for Operating While Intoxicated. Troopers were also involved in four vehicle pursuits which are also accounted for in the arrest total.
As previously stated, Lt. Weems is proud of the efforts being made by Lowell Troopers in keeping Indiana roadways safe on a daily basis. Lt. Weems commented, “The initiative being demonstrated by the Lowell Troopers in being proactive makes a difference. Removing dangerous and impaired drivers from our roadways not only makes our roadways safer for everyone, but most importantly, it saves innocent lives.”
