December 25, 2007
Stepped-up California DUI patrols by California DUI law enforcement agencies throughout the north state have accounted for more than 170 California DUI drunk driving arrests since mid-December. The crackdown will continue through New Year's Day, California DUI officials said.
Fifty California DUI arrests had been made in Butte County as of Saturday night, according to Anderson police officer Scott Neimeth, of the North State Regional Avoid program.
Chico California DUI police have made nearly two-thirds of the Butte County arrests by putting extra officers on duty just to watch for motorists suspected of California DUI impaired driving.
For the period of Dec. 14-16, Chico police arrested 17 California DUI drivers, and an additional 16 last weekend.
California DUI Agencies participating in Butte County include the California Highway Patrol, and the Chico, Paradise, Oroville, Gridley-Biggs and Chico State University police departments.
"If you drink and drive during the holidays, you have better than a 50-50 chance of being arrested," predicted Chico police Sgt. Dave Barrow.
Glenn County's version of the DUI crackdown has seen California DUI officers from the California Highway Patrol office in Willows, Willows police and Orland police arrest 29 motorists for suspected California DUI / intoxication since mid-December.
"This number is far higher than last year," said Sgt. J.C. Tolle of the Orland police.
Stepped-up California DUI enforcement in Glenn County will also continue through New Year's, said Tolle.
Neimeth noted no California DUI deaths from DUI-related traffic accidents had occurred in the north state as of midnight.
