DPS Makes 1,400 DWI Arrests During Holiday Effort

AUSTIN – Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers made more than 1,400 DWI arrests during a special enforcement period from Dec. 13 – Jan. 2. The 21-day DWI enforcement effort included funding from a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) grant.

“These enhanced patrols are designed to protect the lives of all travelers by taking impaired drivers off Texas roadways,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “The holidays are packed with celebrations, which means an increased potential for drinking and driving, and I’m confident DPS efforts helped prevent potentially deadly crashes.”

DPS Highway Patrol troopers made 1,490 DWI arrests during the holiday enforcement effort, and 289 of those arrests were a direct result of the increased patrols. The TxDOT grant allowed increased patrols in high-risk locations during the times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent.

DPS enforcement also resulted in more than 24,800 speeding citations, 2,960 seat belt/child safety seat citations, in addition to 1,070 fugitive arrests, and 790 felony arrests during this time period.

DUII INJURY CRASH ON JASPER ROAD NEAR SPRINGFIELD (PHOTO)
A Springfield man was arrested by Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers for multiple crimes in a DUII related injury crash on Jasper Road near Springfield.

On January 31, 2014 at about 4:00 p.m., a 2004 Dodge pickup, driven by JASON GIBBS, age 29, from Springfield, was westbound on Jasper Road in the 36000 Block.  A 1991 Chevrolet car, driven by CARISA STEELE, age 20, from Lowell, was westbound in front of the Dodge pickup.  The Dodge pickup attempted to pass the Chevrolet car on a corner while an on-coming car was approaching.  The Dodge pickup came back into the westbound lane and crashed into the Chevrolet car.  The Dodge pickup rolled and came to an uncontrolled rest in the middle of Jasper Road.  The Chevrolet car went off the roadway and collided with a power pole.

A passenger in the Dodge pickup, RYAN MULLINS, age 18, from Cottage Grove, was ejected during the crash.  MULLINS was transported by ground ambulance to Sacred Heart at Riverbend with critical injuries.  GIBBS and STEELE were both transported by ground ambulance to Sacred Heart at Riverbend with minor injuries.  Investigators believe that GIBBS and STEELE were wearing safety belts and that MULLINS was not.
