It was a busy Saturday night for the Butler County Sheriff's Department as they set up roadblocks in the county as a part of Operation B.L.U.E. Lights. 5 people were arrested, 3 for DUI, and 14 citations were issued for infractions during the night.

Butler County Sheriff's Deputy Heath West said that the campaign is to "ensure that people are being safe and aren't driving impaired."

West wants to remind people that the current campaign will run through October 1st; during this time road checks will be set up sporadically across the county.

The BCSD will also participate in the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign from August 17th through September 3rd.
