Police kept busy on move-in day
St. Cloud, State Patrol, Stearns County and Waite Park police were kept busy on move-in day as they issued record-breaking arrests. Nearly 100 people were held at the Stearns County jail and all but one were released. Of the citations given out, almost half were because of underage drinking.
St. Cloud cracked down on the situation by hiring extra enforcement officers to cover streets and avenues off-campus. Less than 40 citations were issued the year before by police, proving the extra help this year was a success.
School bus ride raises safety concerns
The Minnesota School Bus Association is reminding students, parents and citizens of school bus awareness as school begins around the city and state. School busses make over 200,000,000 trips a year, transporting over 550,000 students, prompting officials to offer safety tips.
Flashing yellow lights warn drivers that the bus is about to stop and red lights indicate the bus is completely stopped. A stop arm will extend, stopping cars from passing the bus while it is stationary.
Drivers are asked to be patient when waiting for school busses to pick up and drop off students, especially in construction areas where traffic may be slow.
