The Newton County Sheriff's Office and the Covington Police Department reported eight arrests for driving under the influence and several noise complaints this Memorial Day weekend. With the warmer weather, police departments do not expect the increase in DUI arrests and noise complaints to lessen. Covington Police Department's Director of Public Safety Stacey Cotton said warmer weather tends to go hand-in-hand with increases in DUI arrests and noise complaints.
