Troopers Cracking Down During Cinco De Mayo

Posted: Updated:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee state troopers said anyone caught drinking and driving Thursday during Cinco de Mayo will be arrested.

"No exceptions, no excuses," the highway patrol said in a news release Wednesday.

Troopers said they will saturate the highways Thursday looking for aggressive and impaired drivers and safety belt violators.

Last year four people were killed in Tennessee crashes during Cinco de Mayo.
