The Levy County Sheriff’s Office has
ramped up planning for Crab Festival 2014. Sheriff McCallum and his executive
staff have attended meetings with Williston community leaders who offered their
assistance to make this event safer. In the wake of last years tragedy, where
five people were shot and one died of his injuries, this event is of great
concern to LCSO.
Community leaders are telling
LCSO the event will happen on April 26, 2014.
Citizens and travelers through Levy County
The LCSO has enlisted the help of
the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, the Florida Highway Patrol, the Florida
Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission, Williston Police Department and the Florida Department of Agriculture. It will be the efforts of
Law Enforcement to curb the illegal sales of alcoholic beverages, address drug
violations, control traffic, food safety and health violations.
County Road 318 will be closed at
3:00 pm or before; depending on pedestrian and vehicle traffic congestion and
safety concerns. Residents of Williston who have homes accessed via CR 318
should be prepared to show photo ID with a current address. All through traffic
will be re-routed at NE 212 Court and NE 35 Street to US Alt 27. The Sheriff’s
Office encourages everyone that is not attending the event to avoid the area by
using alternate routes.
