Colorado Springs police made 56 drunken driving arrests over the New Year’s weekend, topping last year’s total of 34.
The 56 DUI arrests between 6 p.m. Friday and 3 a.m. Wednesday were part of the state’s “Heat Is On” campaign, which put extra law enforcement officers on the streets to catch intoxicated drivers.
Last year, 34 arrests were made between Dec. 29 and Jan. 2.
Statewide, officers with the Colorado State Patrol and other county and city law enforcement agencies arrested 339 DUI drivers this year, compared with 449 last year.
