State police issued a total of 822 tickets in the North Country’s Troop “B” over the Memorial Day Weekend, from Friday, May 27 through Monday, May 30.
Among the hundreds of tickets given, troopers issued 11 tickets to drivers alleging driving while intoxicated, 246 speeding tickets, tickets for 94 alleged seatbelt violations, nine “move-over” tickets, and tickets to distracted drivers including those using electronic devices while driving.
Troop B includes St. Lawrence, Franklin, Essex, Clinton and Hamilton counties.

As part of the enforcement, troopers also targeted speeding and aggressive drivers across the state.
