Vicksburg Police made 19 misdemeanor arrests and served 18 outstanding warrants on Friday evening as the department wrapped up its two-day Click It or Ticket roadblock campaign, said Chief Walter Armstrong.

“Most of those 19 put in jail were for DUI, suspended license, no license, no seatbelt and things like that,” said Armstrong. “It was very successful. We have a lot of people coming through town this weekend, and we’re just basically trying to be safe, buckle up and refrain from using drugs and alcohol if they’re going to be on the roads.”

Roadblocks at various locations throughout the city were set up Thursday and Friday.

While Armstrong did not have an exact tally of arrests made Thursday, he said it was similar to the number made Friday. Because it accepts certain federal grants, the Vicksburg department is required to participate in the nationwide campaign and officers are paid for conducting the roadblocks via grant funds. Similar campaigns take place during other holiday weekends throughout the year, including the July 4 and New Year’s Eve.

“Our next roadblock will be coming in June,” Armstrong said.
