The commander at the Bucyrus Post of the Bucyrus State Highway Patrol says troopers are making more arrests for illegal weapons than ever before.
Commander Lt. Michael Vinson says, “By being observant and spotting criminal indicators, drugs, illegal weapons and dangerous drivers are removed from the roadways.”
In 2013 troopers made 550 arrests for illegal weapons which is a 39 percent increase. Illegal weapons arrests by patrol troopers occurred in 75 of Ohio’s 88 counties.
