"I think the campaign was a success by the fact that we took 60 impaired drivers off the roadway and wrote a number of other citations. On the flip-side of that coin though, it's disappointing that we haven't sent the message loud and clear that we're not going to tolerate impaired drivers in our community," said Barry Pruitt, of the BGPD.

The Over the Limit Under Arrest campaign wrapped up after the Labor Day weekend.
