Lincoln, Nebraska — A sheriff’s office in northeast Nebraska has shattered the record for the most tickets and arrests in a single year.
On Sunday night, Sheriff Mike Unger said that the Stanton County Sheriff’s Office had made over 3,000 arrests and citations.
That surpassed last year’s record of 2,481.
“Earlier this year I told my deputies, I didn’t think we would ever top that number, especially being down one to two deputies throughout 2024,” Unger stated in a news release. “However, they proved me wrong with their proactive work ethic that has made Stanton County a safer place.”
He described his office as “one of the most proactive” law enforcement entities in Nebraska.
“I know that many will continue to complain about our pro-active approach, but yet those efforts have led to many criminals being taken off our streets,” Unger stated in a news release.
