Harris County Reports 297 DWI Arrests After Labor Day Weekend Enforcement Push
Local law enforcement agencies announced on Thursday that they would step up DWI enforcement over the three-day Labor Day weekend, as AAA projected millions of Texans would travel [1]. AAA Texas spokesperson Doug Shupe said no official volume projection existed for the weekend, but that based on Memorial Day figures, more than 3 million Texans could travel at least 50 miles from home [1]. After the weekend, officials reported 297 motorists were charged with drunk-driving offenses across Harris County, including 65 arrests by the Harris County Sheriff's Office and 45 by deputies with Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman's Office during an expanded DWI and traffic enforcement initiative [2].
