Super Bowl DUI crackdown planned

AURORA | Police in Aurora and around the state have increased DUI patrols planned for Super Bowl weekend, the Colorado State Patrol said this week.

In addition to Aurora police and the State Patrol, 43 other agencies around the state have DUI crackdowns planned starting at 6 p.m. Friday and continuing through 3 a.m. Monday.

“Watching the Super Bowl is one of those American pastimes that people want to celebrate, and alcohol is often involved, so it’s important be responsible,” Col. James Wolfinbarger, Chief of State Patrol, said in a statement. “Choose a sober designated driver before the kickoff.”

Last year, police around Colorado arrested 371 drivers were arrested for DUI over Super Bowl weekend in Colorado.
