AZ DUI arrests increase

The number of D.U.I. arrests in Arizona were up in 2009 from 2008.

The state's 16 D.U.I. task forces made more than 14,000 D.U.I. arrests last year and about 5,000 of those arrests were just from Thanksgiving to New Year's alone.

Thats up from about 11,000 D.U.I. arrests made in 2008. Statistics released by the governor's office show 1,000 of those arrests were made for extreme D.U.I. where the drivers had blood-alcohol levels of .15 or higher.
