HUTCHINSON, Kan. —The Reno County Sheriff's Office, along with dozens of other law enforcement agencies across the state, participated in the You Drink. You Drive. You Lose. campaign from August 20th through September 6th.

During the campaign, deputies conducted special DUI patrols with the intent of removing any impaired drivers off of the roadways to keep motorists safe.

Deputies made a total of 52 traffic stops, ten notices to appear (tickets) were issued to drivers, and 79 warnings for various violations were given.

There was just one arrest for DUI and a second for possession of a firearm while intoxicated. 

The Sheriff's Office would like to thank those that were responsible and arranged for a designated driver or simply chose not to drive while impaired.
