Troopers Arrest 95 for DUI During Holiday Safe-Driving Campaign

January 2, 2025 (Lincoln, Neb.)  — Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol arrested 95 impaired drivers during the end of the year Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign ran from December 11 through January 1. Troopers and dispatchers across Nebraska worked overtime during the final three weeks of the year to keep roadways safe during the holiday season.

In addition to the 95 arrests for driving under the influence, troopers also issued citations for speeding (1,663), including 83 citations for over 100 MPH, driving under suspension (115), open alcohol container (67), minor in possession of alcohol (36), no seat belt (48), and improper child restraint (18). Troopers also assisted 658 motorists in need of help.

“Driving safely is important during the holidays and every other time of the year,” said Colonel Bolduc. “As we continue through winter, we urge all drivers to be prepared for inclement weather and follow traffic safety laws to help keep Nebraska roadways safe.”

This effort was made possible thanks in part to grant funding from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office.
