A 10 hour statewide effort to catch drunk drivers last month netted 39 DUI arrests. Most of the drivers busted on August 26th were caught in Roadside Safety Checks and special details, and 8 had more than twice the legal limit Blood Alcohol Levels. Illinois State Police Lieutenant Matt Boerwinkle says unfortunately, that was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
State Troopers also made 162 other arrests that day for open alcohol, possession of drugs and outstanding warrants.
