| [Ledger] The Polk County Sheriff's Office has arrested 152 people as part of an ongoing traffic safety initiative along Interstate 4 that began last year, the agency said in a recent news release. Officials said the arrests were for a variety of offenses ranging from knowingly driving with no driver's license, reckless driving, racing, possession of narcotics, driving under the influence, DUI manslaughter or violation of injunction. The Sheriff's Office said the initiative began last year in response to aggressive driving and excess speeding. "According to the Teletrac Navan study, Interstate 4 is the most dangerous highway in the United States," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. "It is our mission to keep you safe while in Polk County along this stretch of roadway in our county by enforcing the speed limit and arresting those who drive recklessly. Please, slow down and pay attention. Your life and safety are important to us."
