According to the State Police, 177 drivers were arrested for intoxication. Meanwhile, law enforcement issued 8,263 tickets statewide during the campaign which lasted from February 6 – February 8.

Here in Troop D, police arrested 15 for DWI, while also issuing 226 speeding tickets; 19 distracted driving tickets; 18 child restraint and/or seatbelt violations and 6 move over violations, resulting in 908 tickets in total.
