The extra DWI enforcement around Minnesota garnered 2,407 arrests for DWI compared to 2,502 DWI during last year’s holiday campaign from Nov. 23 – Dec. 30, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (DPS-OTS).

More than 300 officers, deputies and troopers participated in the campaign on weekends and holidays. Some of the incidents included: driving into a garage, hitting a squad car and two drunk drivers in one vehicle.

On New Year’s Eve, a 40-year-old man was arrested for DWI after a Jordan police officer witnessed the driver going the wrong way and coming head-on toward his squad car. The intoxicated driver had an 11-year-old boy in his car and his blood alcohol content (BAC) was .25 at the time of the arrest.

Eleven agencies reported a BAC of .30 or higher including Red Lake Law Enforcement (.32).

Consequences for a DWI vary and can range anywhere from the loss of your license up to one year or jail time.
