JPD reports no DUI arrests on Halloween

Despite beefed up patrols, the Juneau Police Department did not make any arrests for driving under the influence on Halloween.

JPD credits the local chapter of Alaska CHARR, the Cabaret Hotel Restaurant and Retailers Association, which offers bar patrons free cab rides home on certain holidays. The nonprofit provided more than 400 free cab rides on Halloween, according to a JPD news release.

The department had seven extra officers on the street that night. They made 21 traffic stops, and responded to more than 60 emergency and non-emergency calls from the public.
