Pierce County Troopers Ready for a Black Friday DUI Emphasis
- If you drive hammered, you will get nailed -
The Washington State Patrol is sponsoring a DUI emphasis this Friday night, “Black Friday,” November 25th in Pierce County. Local law enforcement agencies including city and county officers will be participating along with the help of the WSP Mobile Impaired Driving Unit (MIDU).
This emphasis is dedicated to the memory of Sam Stephens, a 24 year-old youth pastor who was struck head-on and killed by an impaired driver 2 weeks before he was to marry. Mike Stephens, Sam’s father, will be talking to officers during the multiagency briefing describing the devastating impact of losing his son.
