Lots Of St. Patrick's Day OWI Arrests In Milwaukee County

The Journal Sentinel catalogues at least 36 OWI arrests in Milwaukee County on St. Patrick's Day - - 29 by county deputies - - plus 30 more on the previous weekend leading into this co-called Wisconsin cultural practice.

Separately, there was at least one multiple-injury OWI crash in Waukesha County on St. Patrick's Day, which this year fell on a weekday.

Allowing the bars to keep extended hours on St. Patrick's Day certainly doesn't help.
