Police saw 35 alcohol violations, three moving traffic violations, four that were drug-related, four for littering, four for urinating in public, and two for intoxicated pedestrians in the roadway. McKinley said officers also issued more than 30 alcohol-related citations Saturday night and Sunday morning before they discontinued the patrol to respond to a serious injury accident that occurred at 1:26 a.m. in the 1600 block of Tennessee Street.
