The Oregon State Police made nearly 20 arrests during last weekend's focused patrol in Linn County. The agency boosted patrol efforts from Friday, Aug. 4 through Sunday Aug. 6 in anticipation of the Oregon Jamboree in Sweet Home, according to a news release on Aug. 4. The annual country music festival typically draws heavy traffic, which increases the risk of traffic collisions, according to officials. The OSP reported six crashes during the heightened patrol.  Troopers made 18 arrests, wrote 146 citations, and issued 296 warnings, according to an OSP official.
