MINNEAPOLIS -- Hennepin County is on the lookout for convicted drunken drivers under a new program.
"The Wanted Five with DWIs" was announced Tuesday. It's a new online listing of five people who have been convicted of at least one DWI and are now wanted on active warrants. The individuals are urged to turn themselves in to the Sheriff's Office to clear their warrant.
The program aims at reducing drunk driving offenses.
Too many innocent people have been killed or injured by drunk drivers on our roadways," said Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek, "We will keep coming up with new, innovative ways to address this serious threat until it ends because we owe that to every victim, every family who has lost a loved one."
The public may view photos of "The Wanted Five with DWIs" on the Sheriff's Office website. Once the warrant has been satisfied, a new DWI offender description will be added.
