LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) _ Lewiston Police Capt. Roger Lanier says
the department is ramping up its stance against drunken driving,
directing officers to forcibly take blood samples in some cases
when suspected drunken drivers refuse breath tests.

The Lewiston Tribune reports the city's policy is targeted at
motorists will previous convictions for drunken driving, and
drivers who officers suspect have a blood-alcohol level of more
than twice the legal limit.

Lanier says the policy will be in place during holiday drunken
driving patrols that begin this week.
