Recent statewide crackdowns on drunken driving and speeding yielded not only large numbers of offenders but some eye-popping numbers for the highest speeds and blood alcohol levels. From mid-August through the Labor Day weekend, officers, deputies and troopers from more than 250 agencies across Minnesota made 1,235 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to the state Department of Public Safety (DPS). That total is a slight drop from 1,265 last year and below a 2020 high of 1,649. The same agencies wrote 68,723 speeding citations for a four-month stretch until Labor Day, reported the DPS, whose extra enforcements are now expanded beyond the month of July, as has been the case in recent years.
