BEND, Ore. -- Last Friday, a Bend Police patrol team conducted a focused traffic enforcement detail at the corner of NE Third Street and Burnside Avenue. The officers were looking for people using their cellphones while driving.

Over the course of just two hours, officers wrote 30 citations, officers said. They also issued 10 warnings and arrested three people.

The three arrests were all due to the driver receiving a third cellphone violation, which is a Class B misdemeanor.

"Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of crashes in our community," the agency said in a Facebook posting. "Please put your phone down and pay attention to the road and the traffic around you. Let's all work together to keep Bend safe."
