You talk about the police waiting outside bars; is this one on their list? No matter what I say to the police, it has to be proven. This person needs to get off the streets & won't listen to family members. Maybe this post will get the LEOs on this board to go down there & wait for drunk people to get in their cars & drive away. I'm all for catching them before they kill someone.

Once he kills or maims some family then they will do something. Our DUI laws are kind of like our sex offender laws. They just don't do enough.

I think that is the one that Pootsy is talking about.

As far as I know, we have one cab in town, and it is a "Mariache" cab? Don't think it runs 24/7.

I can name several that have been caught many times, and they are still driving. I just don't even venture out much after dark anymore.

I guess I should have worded that differently! Guess it's not harsher penalties! The just get a longer sentence than 2 days! Not near harsh enough.

Ok let me say something again...those who know me know I cannot shut up lmao! Anyway, you all talk about holding people accountable for their actions but our own Sheriff's department, KBI, and police department do not do this when an individual gets busted for selling or possessing drugs. No; instead they give them a chance to get off by putting them back on the streets to bust other individuals. Does this help? NO it does not. What they should do is put them in treatment to get them help; Not put them back out on the streets to do their job. I have seen several times people doing this and the PD letting them off for a few names and stuff like that. So if the PD, the SO, and society want to hold these people driving Under the influence, accountable, then lets hold everyone accountable including the PD and SO for putting these people back in the danger zone. Come on!!!!! Where I live if a person gets busted for DUI or drugs, their name is in the paper in big bold letters. In Dodge City they do not give names and they say "it is still under investigation." What they should say is "We are going to send these people back on the streets to stir up some more shit and get others to start doing dope too"!!! that is exactly what happens. They do not get any help and they continue to be a nuseince to society. Accountable! HA! don't even go there with me.

Once again you are wrong.....The Dodge City globe lists people who get DUI's and also who is in jail for DUI.

Yes Army, but that is just a recent thing. They never did that when Pootsy was here. I do appreciate the coverage that the Globe is doing, and hope future improvements are forthcoming. Seems like the "citizens" used to be always left out in the dark!

If you have a relative that is a drunk and druggie and youre so concerned about their behavior and why nothing more happens to them, why dont you step up and kick the ape crap out of them for putting peoples lives in danger.. you obviously know where they live.. Regulating starts at home!

Regulators! Mount Up!
