Despite an influx of tourists and 100 percent hotel room occupation during the New Year’s Eve celebrations, Mayor Carlos Felton considered the holiday to have been very tranquil.
Police responded to 10 reports of people discharging firearms into the air. Seven people were detained and their firearms confiscated.
Municipal transit police arrested five drunk drivers after applying breathalyzers, considerably less than a normal weekend when approximately 40 are detained for driving while inebriated, said a transit official.
Police responded to 21 vehicle accidents in which five people were injured and one motorcyclist lost his life. Civil Protection confiscated eight kilograms of prohibited fireworks.
For his part, Official Mayor Salvador Reynosa Garzón assured media that this year the municipality did not authorize extended hours for establishments serving alcohol as had been the practice for many years.
