    The main reason is because the two officers who routinely led the department in DWI arrests have been transferred to the detective unit. Officers Allie and Basatemur made dozens dui of arrests combined. With them out of the loop and not in a police cruiser looking for impaired drivers, the numbers would be lower.

Everyone loves to complain when they get caught doing something wrong. I have a simple solution. Why don't PU students just obey the law rather than feel they are above them?
