As Labor Day weekend gets closer, Arkansas State Police and Mothers Against Drunk Driving are warning drivers against drinking and driving. Last year during the Labor Day holiday weekend, there were 160 drunk driving arrests and seven traffic fatalities, two of which were alcohol related. Both of those drivers were twice the legal limit. Starting this Friday through the holiday, the Arkansas State Police, plus 80 different law enforcement agencies from around the state, will be conducting sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrol.
