A holiday enforcement detail aimed at stopping drunk drivers appears to have caught a lot of them.
Springfield police say they made 21 DUI arrests during the two-week “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign that ran from December 17th through January 1st. The heavier patrols and roadside stops focused on late-night hours, and the SPD says the majority of arrests came after midnight.
Four citations were also written for seat belt violations as part of that enforcement blitz.
