Law enforcement officers fanned out around San Diego County Sunday in search of drunken drivers and other rowdy Super Bowl revelers.

Sheriff’s deputies and National City police officers planned to extend their ramp up patrols tonight.

“There’s no reason anyone should be drinking and driving,” Sheriff Bill Gore said in a statement. “It’s completely avoidable. Never get behind the wheel after drinking. Remember, fans don’t let fans drive drunk.”

Extra National City police patrols got underway at 2 p.m. and were scheduled to extend to midnight.

Special sheriff’s deputies were scheduled to patrol until 5 a.m. Monday.
