Law enforcement agencies in Laramie and Albany counties made 240 traffic stops, arrested 6 impaired drivers, and made 6 arrests for controlled substances during the Border War Impaired Driving Enforcement Operation on Friday, November 22.
This was the fifth straight year that law enforcement in Wyoming and Colorado teamed up as part of a multi-state impaired driving enforcement operation, focused on the 111th meeting of the Border War football game. Traffic enforcement was concentrated on U.S. Hwy 287, Interstate 25, and Interstate 80 since the game was played in Laramie this year.
On the Wyoming side of the border, law enforcement issued 30 speeding citations, 4 seatbelt citations, 112 other citations, 112 warnings, and arrested 4 people on other violations.
Weather, in particular, the fog became a factor throughout southeastern Wyoming during the operation. There were no fatality crashes reported during the 14-hour operation.
