In an April 4, 2008 Minneapolis Star Tribune article entitled "Crackdown on Drunken Drivers Leads to 167 Arrests in March," Tim Harlow outlines the substantial increase (63 more) in the number of Twin Cities DWI citations issued relative to the same period in 2007. Law enforcement specifically targeted the 15 Minnesota counties in which the most DWI citations are issued. According to Harlow, "From 2004 to 2006, those counties - Anoka, Beltrami, Blue Earth, Cass, Crow Wing, Dakota, Hennepin, Olmsted, Ramsey, Rice, St. Louis, Sherburne, Stearns, Washington and Wright - accounted for more than half of the state's 272 alcohol-related deaths and 762 serious injury accidents."
