KEARNEYSVILLE, W.Va. — Between the two of them, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department Corporals Dustin Tabler and Vincent Tiong made 79 of the 123 DUI arrests the department racked up in 2012.


Sheriff Pete Dougherty recognized Tabler’s 47 arrests and the 32 DUI arrests by Tiong on Wednesday during a National Police Week event at the department’s headquarters in Bardane, W.Va.


According to Tabler and Tiong, an arresting officer normally needs up to 3 1/2 hours to process a DUI arrest.


“That’s true for the newer people, but we’ve got it down to a science,” Tabler said.


He said he and Tiong can do the entire process in just a little over two hours....
