Troopers were extremely busy this weekend responding to crashes across the state. During inclement conditions, please slow down & drive with caution.
During the first two days of 2021, I have been involved in two pursuits and the processing of two impaired drivers.
Let’s pump the brakes, Billings.

Pitching a perfect game.
I’ve worked the last three night, and each night I’ve arrested a DUI driver.
2020 has been hard, on all of us. Don’t make it harder for yourself.

RT end_dd: August 11 is Katie Brannelly's birthday, but she was struck as pedestrian by a distracted driver in 2013 at 22 years old. The driver had received 8 text messages before the crash and was likely texting before the collision. …
Arrested a driver tonight for DUI following a crash in Golden Valley County. The driver was found to have 13 prior DUI convictions making tonight his 14th!
That's not a typo! 14!
DUIs are unacceptable. Always find a sober ride and #drivesafe!
