Super Bowl DUI Patrols Net 43 Arrests

That works out to about one arrest per agency involved in Orange County's stepped-up enforcement effort.

A 38-agency crackdown on drunk driving on Super Bowl Sunday produced 43 arrests in Orange County, officials said Tuesday.

"Officers representing 38 Orange County law enforcement agencies arrested 43 individuals for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs," according to a statement.

No DUI-related deaths were reported in Orange County that day, officials said.

Next up: St. Patrick's Day. Officials said they would step up anti-DUI operations throughout the county and region during St. Paddy festivities in March.

Grant funding for the patrols are provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
