The results are in for Clark County’s “Drive Hammered, Get Nailed” campaign targeting drunken drivers.
Ninety intoxicated drivers were arrested between Aug. 17 and Sept. 3 in Clark County, according to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. Statewide, police arrested 1,603 drunken drivers over the same time period.
The added patrols, paid for by a grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, were conducted by the sheriff’s office, Vancouver Police Department, Camas Police Department, Battle Ground Police Department and Washington State Patrol.
