Pennsylvania Police Hit Record for DUI Arrests
With the weekend arrest of a woman who critically injured a pedestrian while driving under the influence put the State College police above the record of 430 nighttime DUI arrests in a year, with a month of holidays to go. The arrest of Katherine Applegate (23) - who was driving a Ford Explorer with a BAC of .208, twice the legal limit, when she hit pedestrian Michael Drauch (18) - tied the department’s record set in 2003.
The department did not explain the increase in arrests, but speculated it could be either more people driving drunk, increased enforcement by police, or some combination of the two factors.
