LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) -- Lewiston Police Capt. Roger Lanier says the department is ramping up its stance against drunken driving, directing officers to forcibly take blood samples in some cases when suspected drunken drivers refuse breath tests.

The Lewiston Tribune reports the city's policy is targeted at motorists will previous convictions for drunken driving, and drivers who officers suspect have a blood-alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit.

Lanier says the policy will be in place during holiday drunken driving patrols that begin this week.
