Those planning to celebrate the New Year by drinking alcohol are reminded to do so responsibly. Lt. Paul Haase with the Pella Police Department encourages all party-goers to designate a driver or make plans to stay, and to never get behind the wheel of a vehicle while intoxicated. Haase says extra officers will be on the roads to find those driving while intoxicated to do their best to keep the roads safe. Area police will also be looking for speeders and those not wearing a seatbelt.
