Police seize 14 guns during cruising
Louisville metro police officers made 22 felony arrests, seized 14 handguns and recovered three stolen automobiles during cruising on West Broadway between 5:30 p.m. yesterday and 5 a.m. this morning, police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley said. There were no fatalities or injuries, she said.
While there will be patrols on West Broadway tonight, Smiley said she did not expect a major police presence like Saturday night, when about 300 police were on duty to enforce the city's cruising ban.
Police also made 68 misdemeanor arrests last night and this morning, issued 29 citations for violations of the city's noise ordinance and three citations for violating the city's cruising ordinance. The bulk of the arrests were made during the late-night and early morning hours.
For the third year, police were enforcing a ban on Derby cruising, which in past years has turned West Broadway into a gridlocked parking lot of hot rods, show cars, pulsing music and partying people who in some cases committed violent and openly lewd acts.
Last year, police made more than 180 arrests, issued more than 330 citations and seized five guns.
