Local authorities are continuing their crackdown on irresponsible driving.


Early Sunday morning, Delaware County authorities arrested 62-year-old Dennis M. Richardson of Walton for driving while intoxicated, and driving with a blood alcohol content of greater than .08%.


Deputies say that Mr. Richardson admitted to operating the motor vehicle after consuming alcoholic beverages.


The defendant was released on an appearance ticket and subsequently scheduled to appear at the Village of Walton Court at a later date.
