(Juneau) There are just a few days left in this year’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” drunk driving campaign. Sheriff Dale Schmidt says there are way too many people making poor decisions by deciding to get behind the wheel of a vehicle while impaired. He adds that getting behind the wheel is a choice, not a disease. The sheriff says that the department takes this matter very seriously and will make arrests when necessary. The campaign runs through New Year’s Day.
