In following up on the crash-free week, Roanoke Rapids Police Chief Chuck said this morning, “I think it went pretty good. I'm going to try to monitor the wrecks and see where it goes.”

Hasty said there will most likely be further operations in the future but now it goes back to officer discretion on whether to issue state citations or give city ordinance violations. “My theory is it is up to the officers. They just need to be on the lookout for all types of things. It's our job to keep the public safe.”

As far as the motoring public goes, it is their duty “to obey all traffic laws. That's all we expect of them. Slow down and take your time and get to your place safely and without a ticket.”

Day five of the operation Friday saw 41 charges on 35 citations.

There were five wrecks, one on a private parking lot, one deer collision and a driver who hit a sign and received a DWI.

There were 23 tickets issued for speeding, bringing that total to nearly 130. A basic state citation carries at least a $218 fine.

There were six registration violations for a total of nearly 20.

There were two driving while license revoked violations for a total of nearly 10.

There was one no operators license for a total of seven.

There were two stop sign and stop light violations for a total of 22.

There was one DWI for a total of two.

There was one unsafe movement violation for a total of eight.

There was one seat belt violation for a total of seven and one inspection violation for a total of six.

There were no serious injuries involving the 14 wrecks, Hasty said. There was one gun charge and four drug charges.
