We arrested 167 drunk drivers <br />and tool( a total of 227 people to jail. <br />Additionally, we cited 124 people for <br />driving with suspended/revoked/or <br />cancelled licenses. A total of thirty- <br />two people were cited/arrested for <br />drug offenses. <br />With assistance from the <br />federal government and the State of <br />Minnesota, we will be putting extra <br />officers on the streets throughout the <br /> <br />Missing a Bike? <br />Call the <br />Ramsey PD <br /> <br />The Ramsey Police Depart- <br />ment has numerous bikes in their pos- <br />session.
