"The Lee County Sheriff's Office has joined in a partnership with MADD (Mother's Against Drunk Driving) and Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, P.A. to remove impaired drivers from Lee County roadways. 'Mobile Eyes' Against Drunk Driving encourages motorists to dial 9-1-1 from their cellular phone to report drunk drivers to law enforcement. If the impaired driver is stopped by law enforcement and arrested for DUI, the caller becomes eligible for a $100 dollar reward.

The 'Mobile Eyes' Against Drunk Driving program is being launched this week as the first of 10 billboards are being displayed across Lee County to promote the new program. The billboards and rewards are being funded by Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, P.A. Bumper stickers and informational brochures are also being distributed to familiarize citizens with the local initiative.

MADD representatives will assist in documenting the arrests generated by Lee County motorists and law enforcement officials. Once an arrest is made, the arresting officer completes a 'Mobile Eyes' information sheet. The form is faxed to the MADD office and the verification process will begin. Once completed the citizen is issued a check for $100 dollars. There is a $500 dollar lifetime reward limit (law enforcement officers and MADD employees are not eligible to receive rewards). "
