This St. Patrick’s Day, spread the word: The Luck o’ the Irish won’t save you from a DUI

Kendall County, IL (March 20, 2025, 5:00 PM)

The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office participated in a statewide St. Patrick’s Day enforcement campaign aimed at reminding motorists to drive sober. This initiative was carried out by the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office in collaboration with state and local law enforcement agencies across Illinois.

The campaign hours worked by the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office resulted in seven (7) citations and one (1) DUI arrest.

“If you’re under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, or any other substance, don’t drive,” stated Undersheriff Bobby Richardson. “It’s illegal, reckless, and endangers the lives of everyone on the road.”

This safety effort was funded by federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
