Sheriff’s office to hold saturation patrol

More Douglas County Sheriff’s officers will be watching for drunken drivers from midnight to 4 a.m. Saturday.

Instead of a check lane, extra officers will patrol certain areas of the county for drivers who may have consumed more than the legal limit of alcohol, said sheriff spokeswoman Lt. Kari Wempe.

Lawrence police officers are not scheduled to perform a saturation patrol in the city this weekend, said police spokesman Sgt. Paul Fellers.
