“Motorists were asked to make responsible decisions as they celebrated the end of summer and the Labor Day holiday weekend,” said Michael L. Prince, director of the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP). “If you are impaired by any substance you shouldn’t drive, which puts yourself and others at risk. There are no excuses.”
In one instance, the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office reported an OWI arrest of a woman who had four child-endangerment charges since four children were in the vehicle.
