PHOENIX – Police and DPS officers have arrested 546 people so far during the second week of the statewide Arizona Labor Day Task Force.
According to a news release provided by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, which is sponsoring the campaign, 72 of those arrests occurred Saturday night alone.
Twenty-five of those arrested Saturday night were cited for extreme DUI, which means they had an average blood alcohol content (BAC) of .15 or above. The legal limit in Arizona is .08.
Since the task force started last weekend, 191 people have been arrested for extreme DUI.
The average BAC since the beginning of the campaign is .160, twice the legal limit.
Nearly 2,100 people have been cited for other violations such as speeding, not wearing a seatbelt and improper lane change.
