Sands Casino linked to increase in DUIs by Northampton County report

http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/bethlehem/index.ssf/2012/07/sands_casino_linked_to_increas.html FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES Drunken driving has nearly doubled in Bethlehem since 2008, and the Northampton County Drug and Alcohol Division attributes some of the increase to Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem. In 2008, a year before the casino opened, Bethlehem had 269 drunken driving arrests, according to Uniform Crime Reporting System data. That number rose to 304 in 2009 and 300 in 2011, then spiked to 398 last year.
