Harris County Cheif Deputy Edison Toquica said the Fourth of July weekend is one of the busiest weekends for law enforcement due to drunken driving. Although it’s a time to celebrate, many are celebrating the wrong way.
Toquica said this year, the roadways will be saturated with law enforcement officers to take drunken drivers off the roads every night this weekend.
He noted that there will be no free passes and drunken drivers, including driving a boat intoxicated, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
