Special Enforcement Results in 91 DUI Arrests

(Lincoln, Neb.)- The Nebraska State Patrol took 91 drivers off Nebraska roads for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) during the nationwide “You Drink, You Drive, You Lose”, special enforcement campaign August 16- September 2.
Troopers and communications specialists put in overtime hours during the two week-long enforcement campaign thanks in part to a nearly $28,000 grant from the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety.  Designed to raise awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving, the special enforcement effort encompassed the heavily traveled Labor Day holiday weekend.
The following statistics are a reflection of statewide activity by the Nebraska State Patrol during the “You Drink, Drive You Drive, You Lose” enforcement.
