SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA DUI TASK FORCE REPORTS 10 ARRESTS DURING SATURATION DETAIL‼️

SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — The Southeastern Arizona DUI Task Force conducted a saturation detail in the Sierra Vista area during the Labor Day holiday weekend with support from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety.

Officers from the Sierra Vista Police Department, Cochise County Sheriff’s Office, Douglas Police Department, Huachuca City Police Department and Bisbee Police Department participated in the operation, which focused on deterring impaired driving and enforcing DUI laws.

According to SVPD, the detail resulted in 58 traffic contacts, six civil traffic citations and 10 arrests, including four alcohol-related DUI arrests, one underage DUI arrest, one underage consumption arrest, one arrest for providing alcohol to a minor and one reckless driving arrest. The remaining enforcement figures reported were citations rather than arrests.

Among those arrested for DUI, the average reported blood alcohol concentration was .220, with BAC levels ranging from .178 to .282.

During one traffic stop, officers reported finding a 20-year-old driver and a 19-year-old passenger impaired by alcohol. The subsequent investigation led to an employee of a Sierra Vista bar being cited for allegedly furnishing alcohol to an underage person.

SVPD and its partner agencies also thanked Vinny's New York Pizza for providing food to Task Force members before the detail.
