WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office announced the results of a traffic saturation patrol conducted June 6 in the Lewisville and Clemmons townships, resulting in multiple arrests and citations for impaired driving, drug offenses and other traffic violations.

Additional enforcement actions included 11 expired registration violations, four speeding citations, four no insurance violations and two charges of driving while license revoked.
Other charges included one no operator’s license violation, one inspection violation, one failure to stop for a red light, one reckless driving charge, two warrant services, two failures to maintain lane control, one failure to burn headlamps violation, one improper equipment violation and one possession of an open container of alcohol.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said the enforcement initiative was part of its ongoing commitment to reducing dangerous driving behaviors and improving safety on local roads and highways.
