At least 108 people were arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in the county, according to the DA's website. The office is reviewing all the cases to decide whether charges should be filed. By Wednesday, 40 names were listed.
"We are adding the names of those charged -- in alphabetical order -- as quickly as we can and will continuously update the list as cases come in," the website states.Assistant District Attorney Richard Alpert has said the new website posting aims to deter drunken driving by getting people's attention. The DA's office added the reminder that all the people named are innocent until proven guilty of DWI.
