Island Vibes December 2023

CRIME Highs and Lows of High Times Out of 85 incidents, a staggering 22 involved marijuana and drug paraphernalia. It’s like a “bake sale” gone wrong! Remember folks, “Just Say No” isn’t just a catchy slogan; it’s the law. Driving Under the Influence of… Bad Decisions? Seven drivers thought they could outsmart the law and physics by driving under the influence. Spoiler alert: they couldn’t. Also, here’s a friendly reminder: alcohol does not grant superpowers. Resisting arrest only adds to your list of not-so-superhero activities. Let’s stick to sober driving. It’s less expensive and, you know, legal. Repeat Offenders on the Road Now, here’s a puzzler: 25 incidents of driving while suspended or without a license. It seems some drivers think ‘third time’s a charm’ applies to breaking traffic laws. Newsflash: it doesn’t. If your license is more mythical than real, maybe try walking? Seriously, Stay Off the Road To the person with a DUS (driving under suspension) third, it’s not a badge of honor. It’s a sign you should maybe consider alternative transportation. Ever heard of a bicycle? Just don’t steal it, as one individual found out the hard way and ended up charged with grand larceny. Grand Theft Auto is Not a Game And speaking of grand larceny, we had a grand finale with one ambitious individual deciding that stealing from cars wasn’t enough; instead they decided to take an entire car!
