These are arrests reported by Detective Cyndi Thurman of the Dade County Sheriff's Office. Sgt. Chad Payne, information officer, who usually gives the report, is on vacation this week.
On Thursday, Oct. 5, at approximately 9:57 am, a Dade County deputy conducted a traffic stop on Highway 299 in reference to a broken taillight. Upon approaching the vehicle, the deputy smelled an alcoholic beverage odor coming from the vehicle. James Richard Bethune (left) was given field sobriety tests and was arrested as a result.

On Wednesday, Oct. 4, at approximately 7:19 p.m., an off-duty Dade County deputy called into dispatch after almost being rear-ended multiple times by a subject behind him. The off-duty deputy also advised that the driver in question was laying drag at a stop sign.

Dade County Sheriff Ray Cross reminds citizens that drugs are the enemy of hope and ambition--and when we fight against drugs we are fighting for the future.
