State troopers made 124 DUI-related arrests during a Halloween blitz, according to numbers released Sunday by the Utah Highway Patrol.

There are typically 40 percent more alcohol-related fatalities on Halloween when it falls on a Friday or Saturday night, UHP Sgt. Jeff Nigbur said in a news release.

But this year, no one died in an alcohol-related accident, there were no alcohol-related crashes in the Salt Lake County area and no crashes statewide between 11 p.m. Saturday and 3 a.m. Sunday, he said.

"I think we made things a little bit safer," he said, "and that's what we're trying to do."

More than 230 troopers hit the road looking for drunken drivers as part of the operation, and they stopped nearly 1,800 vehicles. Of 124 arrests, 100 were for DUI, nine were for driving under the influence of drugs, and seven were for underage drinking, as well as others for minor offenses.
