Law enforcement agencies came together Tuesday afternoon for a license-checking station on Chestnut Street in Highlands.
According to the Highlands Police Department, officers from Highlands Police Department, Macon County Sheriff’s Office, and NC State Highway Patrol took part in a driver’s license checking station near the intersection of Lower Lake Rd and Big Bearpen Rd on Tuesday, January 10. Officers were in the area for approximately one hour and wrote several warning notices and citations for vehicle registration and driver’s license violations.
