It would have been easier to just list all the individuals in Allegheny County that weren't arrested for DUI in Baldwin.

And people are worried about guns (and fire pits). A person is more likely to be hit by a drunk driver. I know since one rear ended me at 60 mph. Believe me, it's not fun. When the police wanted him to close his eyes and touch his nose he couldn't even find his head. He didn't even know he was driving!

Margaret sorry you were hit. No they don't know how to find their nose when they do a field sobriety test. It is funny when they try to say their abc's too.

Wow! I thought it was a busy weekend, but then see that these go back to October of last year, so it must be a backlog in the court.

If they have this many DUIs then Baldwin Police have too much free time.. Maybe we could elimate a couple officers.. This would save tax dollars. I have no problem with DUIs but the main job of Police should be to PATROL our streets and houses and make sure we are safe at night from thefts and drug dealers.

John Sr, did you ever stop to think that maybe while traveling through or to a particular area of the community, the officer spotted someone driving carelessly, erratically, etc and then pulled them over? I am glad they are getting these drunks off our streets, it makes the community safer. Many of them are not from our borough, wonder how they would feel if we drove drunk on their neighborhood streets, oh wait they probably wouldn't even know because they would be to drunk to realize. If you want more patrols in your area, go to the council meetings or call the chief, that's what many in my neighborhood have done and the police presence makes everyone feel safer and more protected.
