The South Dakota Highway Patrol has announced that the number of overall arrests for driving under the influence was up at this year’s Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Through Saturday there were 316 SD DUI arrests, compared to 253 in 2008. The rally, held in the Black Hills, ended Friday though the official window for DUI statistics runs longer because many bikers arrive early and stay through the weekend.
There were 72 accidents involving injury, compared to 60 last year. While drunk driving in South Dakota arrests were up this year, the number of drug arrests dropped from 232 to 199.
