The Saline County Sheriff's Office has announced the results of its recent You Drink. You Drive. You Lose. campaign.

During the campaign Aug. 20 to Sept. 6, the sheriff's office conducted overtime saturation patrols to aggressively enforce Kansas impaired driving laws.

Deputies made 118 vehicle stops which resulted in the following, according to information from the sheriff's office.

●Five impaired driving arrests

●A safety belt citation

●Twenty-six speeding citations

●Ninety-seven other citations

●Three non-DUI-related arrests

"If you were stopped you hopefully learned from your experience," said Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan. "You can count on this department to vigorously enforce impaired driving and other traffic laws all through the year. We will continue to do so because, while the You Drink. You Drive. You Lose. campaign may be over, we are always committed to enforcing impaired driving and other traffic laws."

The You Drink. You Drive. You Lose. campaign was supported by a federal grant through the Kansas Department of Transportation.
