Statesboro and Bulloch County saw a saturation of law enforcement Thursday morning as a “distracted driving awareness initiative” got underway. Troopers, officers and deputies pulled people over for texting, eating and talking on the phone while driving and other infractions. The Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia State Patrol Post 45 and Statesboro Police Department teamed up to perform the exercise, trying to increase awareness of a growing problem, said Bulloch County Sheriff Noel Brown.
