Early "No Refusal" Stats Show Increase During Labor Day Holiday

APD has released preliminary statistics for the Labor Day "No Refusal" weekend, covering just one night (September 4, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 4 a.m.). There were 31 arrests overnight, including 18 people who provided a breathalyzer test, one person who consented to a blood draw, one person who was subject to a mandatory blood draw for felony DWI and 11 people for whom police obtained blood search warrants.

During the September 4 counting period in 2009, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., police made 26 arrests.

APD says the final results from the 2010 Labor Day Weekend no refusal period will not be available for a few weeks.
