The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and other local law enforcement agencies were busy over the holiday weekend, with 50 arrests, including 9 for DUI’s and 2 for BUI’s. The FCSO also handled 992 calls for service and made 363 traffic stops between September 1st and September 5th.
“These long holiday weekends are meant to be a celebration, but there are always those who can’t control themselves and end up behind bars,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “If you commit a crime in Flagler County, you will get a bunk at the Green Roof Inn. Tragically, two young children died on Sunday, and both deaths could have been avoided. We send our prayers and condolences to the families.”
