CT: Spectrum Gaming Report #13 DUIs

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Arrests

With the tremendous increase in traffic in southeastern
Connecticut, so too has come an increase in DUI arrests. This is particularly
true for many of the municipalities near the two Indian casinos.

Norwich, for example, a municipality just north of the two casinos, had
129 DUI arrests in 1992; 252 in 2008. DUI arrests in Montville totaled 37 in
1992; 87 in 1997 and 116 in 2007.

The increases come at a time when DUI
arrests statewide have fallen. In 1992, they totaled 12,088. In 2005, they
declined to 9,874, a decrease of 18 percent.
