“It feels feels good coming out here and getting people off the road who are impaired and are a danger to others” said Hurley.

Of those arrests Hurley say “I’ve had many people come back or I’ve stopped them again a couple years later and they tell me that since they were arrested by me they’ve went to rehab or they’ve not touched a drug since.
