Task Force hears DUI and MIP counts; breath-test refusals noted

Anaconda-Deer Lodge County DUI Task Force · February 12, 2026

Summary

The Task Force reviewed MIP/DUI data: Anaconda-Deer Lodge County recorded four DUIs (all breath-test refusals) since the last meeting, while the Montana Highway Patrol reported three DUIs; staff will produce a 2025 date-organized graph for future comparison.

Chair Morgan Smith presented the MIP/DUI report and recorded that, since the last Task Force meeting, Anaconda-Deer Lodge County had four DUI arrests and that those individuals refused breath testing.

Trooper George Nassour noted the Montana Highway Patrol issued three DUIs during the same period. Lauren Bolten said she is preparing a 2025 graph organized by date to allow the Task Force to compare when citations are occurring in future years.

The minutes do not supply names, ages or locations for the incidents; those operational details are not recorded in the meeting excerpt and would require police reports for confirmation.
