The DWI Law in Missouri
In Missouri the offense is DWI, and the limit is 0.08.
Driving in Missouri is consent to a breath or blood test when an officer has cause to suspect DWI; the license case that follows a refusal or a failed test is run by the Department of Revenue, separately from the criminal case.
Who Makes DWI Arrests in Overland
The agency that reports for Eureka makes the DWI arrests in and around Overland.
The FBI's agency list also places two other agencies and three campus police departments in St. Louis County (the arrest records guide names each one).
Eureka reported 332 arrests to the FBI for 2025, all offenses together; the FBI's count for St. Louis County does not break DWI out.
The Pacific Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including St. Louis County, so its arrests are not broken out for St. Louis County here.
