January 1st, 2009 by Joe BurgessAs of 3 a.m., five drivers have been arrested and charged with DWI at the Drew County Detention Facility.
Monticello Police brought four of them in by 1 a.m.
This Cadillac was stopped on East College Street, around 10 p.m., and was towed by C&L Wrecker,
and this white Chevy pick-up was pulled over on Barkada Road, close to HWY 425, around 1 a.m., and was removed by J. A. Goad Towing.
3 others also made an unplanned trip to the Breathalyzer, apparently due to too much liquid celebration.

People just won’t learn to not drink and drive. The cops around here will catch you.I would have to ask…..WAS IT WORTH GOING TO JAIL AND THE MONEY IT WILL COST YOU ??JUST TO GET DRUNK???? Stupid is all I can say. How much is a DWI anyway??I hope they all have bad hang overs.
It terrifies and horrifies me that ignorant people are willing to take not only their own lives, but the lives of others, into their hands when they chose to drink and drive. 5 people were CAUGHT driving while intoxicated…I can’t help but wonder how many were drinking and driving and did NOT get caught.
A DWI is $905.00 for first offense, plus what the cost of any other charge given at the stop, then goes up by $1000.00 for each offense up to #4, then its a felony.
WHY DRINK AND DRIVE?? its the most selfish thing anybody can do b/c its not only putting their life in danger but also putting other peoples lifes in danger and why take that change in harming others as well as yourself its so stupid and needs to be stopped as much as possible.
