That's out of roughly 16,800 DWI incidents handled by SAPD officers during that time frame. The remaining incidents involved drivers that drank last at Fiesta events, private residences and unknown bars, or situations in which a last drink location was not listed.

San Antonio Police Department spokesman Sgt. Jesse Salame said officers obtain the last drink location primarily through interviewing the suspects, but sometimes must resort to using receipts and credit card records to determine the location.

Charges levied against drivers in each case range from misdemeanors — including driving while intoxicated; driving while intoxicated , second; driving while intoxicated, open container; and driving while intoxicated with a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 or higher — to felonies — includes intoxication assault, driving while intoxicated with a child under the age of 15 and driving while intoxicated, third or more.
