Local agencies ramping up DWI enforcement

The holiday season really gets underway this week.  Northfield Police Sgt. Kevin Tussing said Blackout Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving) is traditionally associated with a night of binge drinking. Many college students are returning home for a night of celebrating with friends and with no work on Thursday, many adults get together after a short work-week.  The Northfield Police Department calls Blackout Wednesday one of the most dangerous nights on the road in the state.  From November 21st through December 29th, expect more officers on the road looking for impaired drivers.  If you see an impaired driver, call 911.  Read the full press release below:
