Cullman County Sheriff's Office Vehicle

Cullman County made it through a long holiday weekend with little commotion, from law enforcement’s perspective.

Alabama State Troopers said Monday there had been no traffic fatalities in Cullman County since 6 p.m. Friday, and local agencies reported an similarly uneventful weekend within their jurisdictions.

Early anecdotal reports from all three local law enforcement agencies — the Cullman Police Department, the Hanceville Police Department and the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office — indicated no surge in DUIs, domestic violence, fires or traffic issues.

“Pretty much everything’s been quiet,” said Cullman Police Chief Kenny Culpepper Monday, mirroring Hanceville Police Chief Bob Long’s report of “business as usual” over the three-day holiday.

Sheriff Matt Gentry said he was grateful the deputies and support staff who worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday had “a very quiet, peaceful Christmas.”

“It was very good in that regard, and I’m thankful for that,” he said. “I appreciate the hard work of all the deputies; the detention deputies and dispatchers over the Christmas holidays. They’ve all been dedicated to making sure that people were safe over the holiday season, and we’ve had a very quiet, peaceful Christmas.”
