It’s lining up to be a great stretch of days in Minnesota, and police are expected to be out with an extra emphasis to ensure everyone stays safe.
The Minnesota Timberwolves return to the conference finals for the first time in 20 years, and they are set to host the first two games of the series on Wednesday and Friday night. Those two games will provide an electrifying appetizer into the extended Memorial Day holiday weekend. With throngs of fans expected to descend on the Twin Cities during the mid-week and then tens of thousands heading out of town to soak up the sun during the long weekend, we can expect a couple of things:
- Poor choices when alcohol is involved
- An increase in traffic and traffic-related issues
- A significant uptick in police presence downtown and then on the roads Friday through Monday

Although police have not announced an official crackdown, it should be assumed that police will have a heavy presence downtown and on the roads beginning Wednesday afternoon and running all the way through Tuesday morning. Like any major crackdown, they’ll be on the lookout for the four major causes of automobile accidents, which are:
- Speeding
- Drunk Driving
- Distracted Driving
- Unbelted Driving
If you’re going to have a few beers downtown while you cheer on the Timberwolves or you’re going to celebrate your holiday weekend at the lake with a few cocktails, make sure that you do not get behind the wheel after doing so. Police will have an extra presence on the roads, and because there will be a lot more foot and vehicle traffic, all it takes is one mistake to forever change your life. Buckle up, maintain a safe speed, keep the distractions away and drive sober during this busy stretch, and you should be able to stay out of trouble with Johnny Law.
However, if you or someone you know ends up in jail or under arrest, make sure they connect with a firm who can help them during the holiday weekend. We’ll do everything in our power to secure your release as quickly as possible so that you can get back to your life without a major interruption while your case plays out. Let us be an ally for you so that you can avoid a worst case scenario.
