Highway Patrol to increase patrols on New Year’s Eve
The Mississippi Highway Patrol is encouraging drivers to think twice before they get behind the wheel of a car after New Year’s Eve drinking.
Drink and ride: Police encourage New Year’s Eve drinkers to tap a designated driver
Drinkers, get your driving plans together now. Ten to 13 cabs (four to six in Columbus and seven in Starkville) will be on the road New Year’s Eve night shuttling revelers to and from parties, but they can’t get to everyone. Thus, law enforcement is recommending drinkers secure a designated driver.
