DUI arrests, 2007

Arrest rates for driving under the influence (DUI) in 2007 were highest in central and northern Minnesota. Looking at a single year, though, can be deceptive when it comes to DUI arrests.

These external factors have made it difficult for law enforcement agencies to track trends over time.
