SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Police arrested fewer people in the first 10 days of a crackdown on Sacramento-area drunken drivers compared to a similar period last year.
From midnight Dec. 18 through midnight Sunday, officers representing 15 Sacramento County law enforcement agencies reported provisional arrests of at least 264 people for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, a dip from 330 DUI arrests during the first 10 days of last year's winter crackdown on impaired drivers.
During the same time in Placer County, officers representing seven agencies reported arrests of at least 35 people on suspicion of DUI, down from 77 such arrests last year.
No deaths were attributed to a drunken driver in either county during this time.
Law enforcement officials will be conducting more anti-DUI efforts through out the region in the coming days.
Also, the California Highway Patrol will have increased staffing during the New Year's weekend
