DECEMBER 1, 2023 (LINCOLN, NEB.) — Nebraska State Troopers have completed a season-long effort to keep travelers safe on Husker gamedays. Troopers were on patrol on the road and in the air to help fans travel to and from Memorial Stadium safely.
On gamedays this fall, including Volleyball Day in Nebraska, troopers made 88 arrests for driving under the influence and cited 485 drivers for speeding. Troopers also issued citations for open alcohol container (23), minor in possession of alcohol (20), driving under suspension (52), no seat belt (8), and improper child restraint (6). Troopers also performed 278 motorist assists.
This effort was made possible thanks in part to grant funding from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office.
