Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol arrested 84 drivers for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) during the nationwide You Drink, You Drive, You Lose special enforcement campaign.

Troopers and communications specialist put in overtime hours during the more than two-week-long effort (Aug. 19 –Sept. 5), thanks in part to a $23,000 grant from the Department of Roads Highway Safety Office.

Encompassing the heavily traveled Labor Day holiday weekend, the special enforcement was designed to raise awareness of the dangers of impaired driving.

The following statistics are a reflection of statewide activity by the Nebraska State Patrol during the “You Drink, You Drive, You Lose” enforcement.
