Troopers Arrest 18 Impaired Drivers Last Weekend

APRIL 21, 2025 (LINCOLN, NEB.)  —Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol removed 18 impaired drivers from the road during a special enforcement operation last weekend.

The effort, which ran from Friday, April 18 through Sunday, April 20, included high-visibility patrols throughout the state. During the operation, troopers arrested 18 people for driving under the influence.

“Keeping Nebraska’s roadways safe is a major part of our job,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “By removing impaired drivers from the road, we’re able to minimize likelihood of serious or fatal crashes occurring in and around our communities.”

In addition to the arrests for impaired driving, troopers issued citations for speeding (276), driving under suspension (18), minor in possession of alcohol (9), open alcohol container (15), no seat belt (7), improper child restraint (4) and no proof of insurance (13).

This effort was made possible thanks in part to a grant for $10,660 from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office.
