A total of 320 vehicles were contacted. Four drivers were detained and tested for suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance. All four people suspected of driving while impaired were arrested, four arrests made for narcotics violations, 19 traffic citations and 25 warnings issued.
