Hungry Horse News (Columbia Falls), 12591 Troy council supports its cops TROY Troy City Council has reaffirmed its support of the city police department's get-tough enforcement of driving-while-intoxicated laws. More than 50 people packed the Troy council chambers at a recent meeting to protest "big city" enforcement tactics by Troy Chief of Police Charlie Muchmore and his assistant; city policeman Will Goyen. Since Goyen was hired in July, there have been 12 arrests for driving while under the influence of alcohol in Troy, Muchmore has said DUI enforcement is a high priority within his two-person department.

i People who object to this told the Troy council that Goyen "harasses" youthful drivers, and that overly strict DUI enforcement hurts local business. The Troy council responded that it is aware that revenue of taverns may be hurt. The council suggested that private businesses establish a designated driver service so that patrons do not drive away from taverns drunk.
