No Refusal Program police patrols and prosecutor teams have made 110 DWI arrests thus far in targeted “Hot Spots,” as part of a special enforcement operation that continues during the July Fourth holiday weekend, Harris County District Attorney Patricia Lykos reported.

Of those arrested, 35 refused voluntary breath tests and had No Refusal warrants issued for blood samples to determine their intoxicant levels. Officials anticipate more arrests with the approach of increased holiday traffic from July Fourth festivities. No Refusal units will return for the prime DWI hours from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. this Friday and Saturday (July 3-4).

The Houston and Pasadena police departments are hosting the program. No Refusal teams invite all law enforcement agencies in Harris County to use their testing areas and services.
