Bend Local Frequency: Holiday DUI Arrests, Outdoor Adventures, and Upcoming Events in Bend
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Saturday, January third. We hope you're having a great start to your weekend, and we've got some important community updates to share with you.
First, let's talk about public safety. Bend Police wrapped up an intensive holiday enforcement period this week, and the numbers are sobering. Between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day, officers arrested at least twelve people for driving under the influence. The blood alcohol levels ranged from point thirteen to point twenty-three percent, with one driver found unconscious in a Taco Bell drive-through on New Year's Eve. Three of those arrests involved drug use, including inhalants and marijuana. Two crashes were also connected to impaired driving, including one hit-and-run. This is part of a larger trend, as the Bend Police Department made more than five hundred fifty DUI arrests throughout twenty twenty-five. The department stepped up its presence downtown during New Year's Eve, and even installed special boom lighting at the intersection of Northwest Greenwood and Hill Street to prevent vehicle and pedestrian accidents.
On a more positive note, there's plenty to do around town today. If you're looking to get outside, Wanderlust Tours is hosting a stargazing experience at Fort Rock this afternoon, with a sunset hike followed by some stunning night sky viewing. That's a beautiful way to kick off the weekend if the weather cooperates.
For those interested in wellness and culture, there's a Crown Chakra Journey Chakradance class happening this morning at ten thirty, and if you're more into live entertainment, there's jazz happening tonight at Bar Botellon at six o'clock.
Looking ahead, there's a lot coming up in Bend this month. If you're a runner, mark your calendar for the thirty-eighth Annual Salmon Run, one of Bend's oldest and most cherished races. It's a great way to kick off the twenty twenty-six race season. On January fourteenth, there's a special screening of the Talking Heads classic film Stop Making Sense at the Tower Theatre, with a live Q and A featuring co-star Jerry Harrison. And if you're in the mood for comedy, Mark Normand is bringing his stand-up act to the Midtown Ballroom on January twenty-third.
We should also mention that the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office is holding a town hall in Sunriver on Tuesday, January sixth, from five thirty to seven thirty at Three Rivers School. Sheriff Ty Rupert will be there to answer questions and hear from the community about public safety priorities.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
