Grant Spurs More DUI, Other Patrols in West Virginia Town

Logue Law Group

I know you’ve heard this Morgantown criminal defense lawyer say it before: More enforcement = less DUIs and traffic infractions, an opinion backed up by a recent study. Now, at least in Farmington, West Virginia, there has been an enforcement blitz thanks to a cash infusion from the Governor’s Highway Safety Program in the form of a grant. The Farmington police department chose to spend that grant on an additional patrol vehicle, as well as extra patrols.

That means there were extra cops on the lookout for not only DUI and speeding but for infractions such as not wearing a seatbelt, texting while driving, and more this month. That initiative runs through the beginning of the month, while an effort to fight distracted driving launches in April. Police in Farmington has said, no, they won’t just be looking to arrest drunk drivers – adding that the extra patrols and unmarked car will help their town in myriad ways. I agree – but, as your friendly neighborhood Morgantown criminal defense attorney, I have to warn those who live, work or drive through Farmington to be a little more cautious while on the roads.

Everyone wins when you do. When you don’t, you might be the guy to get pulled over during such a blitz and could have to call a lawyer like me to help handle your charges. So, be careful. But if you get in a jam (whether it’s a DUI, a speeding ticket, or a reckless driving charge), call me. I’d be happy to help.

Client Reviews

I had hired Mr. Logue a few years ago for my gf at the time for charges she had gotten before I had met her, for prostitution. Big mistake to date her and pay for her lawyer as we didn’t work out but Mr. Logue far exceeded expectations. He got nearly all charges in 2 separate cases dropped for her...

I was arrested on a felony 3 charge looking at at least up to 2 years in prison. County District Attorney didn't want to negotiate. After a lot of hard work, Sean was able to plead the case all the way down to just 90 days jail with a work release. Better deal than I realistically could have hoped...

Former Client

Mr. Logue took our son’s cases on very short notice (the first lawyer we hired wasn’t getting anywhere with either of the prosecutors and had actually turned one of the cases over to the court-appointed attorney). We hired Mr. Logue to go to trial if needed, but he worked with both prosecutors and...
