The report on the agency's Facebook page is part of an effort by the department to shed light on the problem of impaired driving and the threats these drivers pose.
"Each one had a DECISION … not to drive or #OWI," the post says. "Each one CHOSE the latter!"
The post continues with the proclamation "unacceptable" and includes the following hashtags: #drivesober, #eliminateOWI and #stayofftheposter.
