Full press conference: Sheriff Grady Judd on recent fatal crashes in Polk County

Sheriff Grady Judd discusses several fatal crashes in Polk County that claimed the lives of eight people in the span of two days.

The sheriff said his investigators had just returned from their break after Christmas and were "high-fiving" because there hadn't been a single traffic fatality over the holiday weekend.

"We were excited about that, but that was short-lived," the sheriff said, adding that many of the crashes involved alcohol or drugs, or were otherwise intentional.
