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.
