Maricopa deputies to start holiday DUI crackdown
Reported by: Leslie Aleman
Last Update: 7:31 am

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is joining other Valley agencies this holiday season to search for impaired drivers on Valley streets.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio has instructed all deputies to arrest any intoxicated undocumented immigrants and take them directly to jail when found driving under the influence.

"Recently, there have been a significant number of high profile cases involving drunk illegal aliens that have killed innocent drivers," said Arpaio.

According to the Sheriff, there will be no cite and release option.

With the influx of inmates convicted of DUI, Arpaio said he's in the process of expanding Tent City so that there is always a vacancy for every impaired driver.
