Police/Courts

Aggressive driving is dangerous driving. This is especially true when drivers of cars and large trucks engage in aggressive driving behavior around each other. To help combat the hazard this presents to motorists on the road, the Florida Highway Patrol began a two-week enforcement campaign aimed at preventing aggressive driving behavior on Friday. The Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks (TACT) campaign runs through December 5 and is intended to raise awareness about the dangers of being too aggressive on roadways, especially when a large truck is involved. 

A man living in a Williston group home on Northeast 35th Street was charged recently with 13 counts of criminal use of personal information after, according to police, he used a bank card to take money from another man who lives at the same address.

A Chiefland man is wanted for questioning about more than $2,200 that went missing from a McDonald's safe last week.

Chiefland's head of police will be moving into his ninth year with the city. Commissioners voted unanimously 4-0 Monday night to renew CPD Chief Robert Douglas' contract, noting only a 35-cent increase to his cell phone allowance as the only change from last year. Mayor Teal Pomeroy was absent from the public evaluation.
