The Lee County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit will target at least one of the following

three locations for enforcement Wednesday:

DUI and others, motorists become more alert and are encouraged to obey traffic

laws, officials said.

The Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit and District Patrol Deputies issued the following citations and warnings Monday:

Citizens can help by letting us know if they observe problem areas, aggressive or

impaired drivers and by their compliance with the rules of the road, officials said. To get in touch

with one of our traffic deputies call (239) 477-1000. If you see a reckless or drunk

driver while you are traveling in your motor vehicle in Lee County, dial 9-1-1.
