On Tuesday afternoon Sheriff Mike Unger was recognized as one of the 2021 Mothers Against Drunk Drivers heroes of the year. Sheriff Unger was recognized for his dedication and efforts in enforcement of MIP laws in the state at a ceremony held in Lincoln. This is the third time Sheriff Unger has been recognized by MADD, also being recognized in 2007 and 2018 for his enforcement efforts in combating drunk drivers and underage drinking in Stanton County. “Even though often an unpopular action, these officers show dedication in the face of adversity when performing lifesaving actions to prevent needless harm and death to innocent victims” said a guest speaker during the awards ceremony.
