SEBRING — Anytime someone gets in a car, they are at risk of being in a car wreck. During the holidays, that risk goes up exponentially because of alcohol consumption increases. According to the National FANSLER Highway Traffic Safety Administration, young people are at higher risk during the month of December. The NHTSA said in December 2017, the most fatalities were among those ages 21-34. A sobering statistic. The Highlands News-Sun reached out to the three local law enforcement agencies to find out how many arrests there were in the county for Dec. 24 through Jan. 1. The Lake Placid Police Department reported one DUI arrest in the short time frame. Sebring Police Department did not have one DUI during that week. SHARON WEATHERHEAD/CORRESPONDENT Highlands County Sheriff’s Office report- Aurora Lipps, winner of Best of Show Teen Photography, and Donald Lipps, winner of Best of Show. ed the most with five DUI arrests. “I would say there are more people driving while under the influence during the holidays,” Lake Placid Police Chief Museum of the Arts looking picture perfect James Fansler said. “People are going from one party to another.
