People may be more exuberant in their New Year’s Eve celebrations to say farewell to 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic, but it’s no excuse for drinking and driving. “COVID’s still going to be with us in 2021,” Dayton police Lt. James Mullins said. Extra patrols will be out throughout the holiday weekend looking for impaired drivers. “The bottom line is don’t drink and drive. Don’t use recreational drugs and drive. Drive sober or get pulled over.”
