Fifty-seven people were arrested on driving under the influence charges in El Dorado County from Aug. 19-Sept. 5.

The Avoid the 6 ramped up its usual enforcement efforts, deploying several roving DUI saturation patrols.

“For us, saving one life would make the campaign worthwhile,” District Attorney Vern Pierson said in a statement. “We wanted our community to know that we do not tolerate drunken driving. Our law enforcement was out in full force, pulling over and arresting drivers who were under the influence.”

The enforcement was part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign to save lives and make roads safer.
