A report funded by the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police shows an upward trend in the correlation between alcohol and crime within the state and county.
Of Laramie County's 1,852 total arrests last year, 1,301, or 70.25 percent, involved alcohol.
The report also showed that about 47 percent of domestic violence arrests and 37.5 percent of assault arrests involved alcohol. Driving under the influence arrests accounted for about 43 percent of the total.
