Through Sunday night, state law enforcement officers have arrested 643 people suspected of driving drunk during a DUI enforcement task force that began two weeks ago.

The average blood alcohol level of those caught has been almost double the legal limit.

The Labor Day task force arrested 129 offenders just Saturday night. That's more than 21 percent of the 605 people taken into custody since the task force began August 15.
 
The 129 people arrested Saturday had an average blood-alcohol level of 0.14 percent, nearly double the legal limit. Up through Sunday night, the average was .15 percent.
 
Of those arrested, 32 were minors.
 
More than 160 agencies statewide are participating in the task force, which ends Monday.
