"Focusing on the Christmas and New Year holidays, December 14 - January 1, Arkansas law enforcement agencies will conduct saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints to identify and arrest impaired drivers," said Colonel Stan Witt, Arkansas State Police Director and Governor's Highway Safety Representative.
Last year, 34 percent of all traffic deaths in Arkansas were alcohol-related, accounting for 190 lives lost.
