Nashville DUI Arrests drop in 2010. Patrols diverted by flood.

Monday's City Paper in Nashville included a story about DUI arrests in 2010. Quoted are Nashville/Metro Police Lt. Kenneth Walburn, GHSO Director Kendell Poole and Elizabeth Hosmer, finance and marketing administrator for the GHSO. A couple interesting notes:
1) Arrests are down due to the need to shift officers to flood recovery.
2) Fatalities are about level.
3) The percentage of alcohol related fatailites are still at about 40%. The State average is 31%.
4) In 2011 overtime funding will drop to $400,000 after being nearly a million in the past.
