'Booze It & Lose It' Yields 770 DWI Arrests In First Week

Law enforcement officers across the state arrested a total of 770 motorists for driving while impaired (DWI) during the first week of the summer "Booze It & Lose It" campaign. That includes 87 impaired drivers under the legal drinking age of 21. The campaign continues through July 13. The arrests are a result of 1,014 checkpoints and stepped-up patrols conducted statewide between June 26-29. Counties with the highest number of DWI citations included Wake (49), Cumberland (35), and Wayne (23).

Less than one per checkpoint. How very effective. "Papers, please?"
