First Weekend of Pittsburgh South Side Saturation Patrols = 19 arrests, 94 citations

After the Southside Saturation Police Detail was announced by the mayor, the results were instant: multiple criminal arrests and numerous patrons and visitors cited for traffic and non-traffic offenses on Pittsburgh South Side.

 

Equipped with both uniformed and undercover officers, the local police arrested and cited patrons for multiple offenses: traffic offenses, dui, underage drinking, fake id, public urination, disorderly conduct, public intoxication, simple assault and various other offenses.

 

With only one weekend into the new security measure and multiple arrests to report, it's safe to say that patrons should be on their best behavior when visiting the many establishments on the South Side. Additionally, plan ahead by locking in the number for a Taxi (Yellow Cab 412.321.8100) before hitting the town.

Pittsburgh South Side to See Increased Police Presence

Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl recently announced a new security plan for the bars, stores, shops and other businesses on the South Side of Pittsburgh along East Carson Street: More Police Presence.

 

With recent crimes occurring on the South Side, including hit and run accidents, DUI accidents, Assaults, Firearms violations, underage drinking, disorderly conduct, public intoxication and public urination, the Police Blitz is a welcomed idea for business owners on the South Side.

 

The mayor also announced that other safety measures will be increased such as building inspectors, firefighters and towing enforcement in an effort to curb the crimes and violence on the South Side frequently occurring during the evening hours.

 

This announcement should not be taken lightly, especially by frequent patrons, visitors and students whom visit the South Side Shops and businesses. The Message is simple: Come to the South Side, have a drink, enjoy your friends, have a great time, but please do so responsibly or suffer the consequences.

 

If you or someone you know has been charged or cited with a crime while visiting the South Side, please give our office a call for a free review of your case.
