N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Law enforcement agencies in North Dakota worked over 400 overtime hours during the national distracted driving campaign U Drive. U Text. U Pay in April.

According to the North Dakota Department of Transportation, a total of 370 citations were attributed to the added patrols. Of those citations, 141 were issued for distracted driving, 44 for speeding, 40 for no seatbelt, 13 suspended/revoked licenses, eight warrants served and one felony arrest.

Several statewide agencies participated in the effort including the Jamestown Police Department. Just because extra patrols are wrapped up, doesn’t mean you can still text and drive. Jamestown Sgt. Brian Miller stated that it’ll cost anyone who is seen texting and driving.

Funding for the extra April patrols were provided by federal grant money distributed through the NDDOT.
