Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP B- NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release September 2, 2009 “Over the Limit – Under Arrest” Troop B- This Labor Day weekend, Louisiana State Police will be aggressively patrolling for impaired drivers as part of a national DWI enforcement campaign called “Over the Limit – Under Arrest”. In 2008, 449 people in Louisiana lost their lives in an impaired driver-related crash. Impaired driver-related crashes represented 49% of all 2008-highway deaths in Louisiana.
