Fargo (CSi) Troopers in the North Dakota Highway Patrol’s southeast region conducted an alcohol saturation in Stutsman, Barnes, Cass, Traill and Steele counties July 3-6. Troopers from across the southeast region worked overtime to add extra patrols during the holiday weekend. Troopers issued the following throughout the saturation:
- 32 – written warnings
- 33 – citations
- 3 – DUI arrests
- 2 – driving under suspension arrests
- 4 – open container citations
Approximately 25 percent of all traffic fatality victims in North Dakota this year have been killed in alcohol-related crashes. The goal of the saturation was deter and detect impaired drivers to prevent additional traffic crashes and deaths because of impaired drivers.
