Detective Justin Hetherington told the council during committee reports that the police department has seen a significant increase in impaired drivers over the prior eight weeks, with 12 arrests in Nutter Fort and Stonewood combined. The figure was presented as part of the Chief of Police report and council members heard the enforcement update without a formal motion.
Council members did not record additional steps in the minutes, but the arrest count was entered into the meeting record, indicating heightened law-enforcement activity and potential follow-up in future agenda items if the trend continues. The report covers two jurisdictions (Nutter Fort and Stonewood) and does not specify charges, locations of individual arrests or whether arrests are connected to particular events or patterns.
