Bluffton Police Department’s ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ Enforcement Campaign a Success

September 10, 2013

Bluffton, IN – Deputy Chief Nathan Huss today announced that Indiana’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” crackdown on impaired driving a success.

Huss reported that one drunk driving arrest, one other significant arrest, and 83 citations were made in Bluffton during the enforcement effort, which ran from August 16 to September 2, 2013.

“I want to thank all of our officers for their hard work and dedication to making our roadways safer this Labor Day,” said Huss.

During the 2012 Labor Day holiday period (August 31-September 4), there were 115 alcohol-related crashes in Indiana. During last year’s Labor Day Crackdown, there were 14,655 citations issued, 669 misdemeanor DUIs, and 106 felony DUIs.

Bluffton Police Department joined forces with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and nearly 10,000 law enforcement agencies across the country in this year’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign.
