DWI arrests are down in Wichita Falls. Only 5 arrests were made over St. Patrick’s Day weekend. The fall in DWIs could be due to multiple reasons.

Between January 1 and March 19 in 2016 there were 39 DWI arrests. In 2017 there were 38. This year there are 25.

Sgt. Harold McClure feels people may just be getting smarter. He says, “I think that it has a lot to do with the fact that people know just how important it is not to get behind the wheel.”
