Over the last few months, the Hood River Police Dept. has seen a high percentage of impaired drivers. There has been a spike in DUII’s where the intoxicant is a controlled substance like Meth, Fentanyl, Cocaine, Prescription Narcotics and Marijuana. People under the influence of these intoxicants are just as dangerous out on the road as a person under the influence of alcohol. The Hood River Police Dept. is working hard to get impaired drivers off the road. When some of these individuals are arrested, it is very common that they have in their possession the narcotic that is causing their impairment.
