HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office’s Countywide DUI Enforcement Squad cracked down on the rotten eggs over the holiday weekend.
From April 7, 2023, to April 9, 2023, the DUI Enforcement Squad made 29 arrests. Of those arrested, one man blew a .219 and .214 on two separate breathalyzer tests after driving the wrong way on I-275.
“Driving under the influence doesn’t just put your life in danger, but it is also a blatant disregard for the safety of everyone on the road,” said Sheriff Chronister. “I commend our DUI enforcement squad for their tireless work, and we will continue to crack down on every individual that chooses to make this detrimental decision.”
