A New Years Eve saturation patrol in Harrison County New Years Eve turned up no drunk drivers.

But Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers arrested three people on misdemeanor warrants, issued citations for about a dozen violations and issued warnings to 35 motorists.

“We are pleased that none of the drivers stopped for traffic violations were intoxicated,” said Captain Duane Robinson, commanding officer of Troop H.

“Removing impaired drivers from the highways is a priority for the Missouri State Highway Patrol.”

Robinson says the location for the saturation was selected due to an elevated number of alcohol-related traffic crashes and impaired drivers.

In a news release, the patrol listed these enforcement contacts made during the operation:
Speed Violations — 4
Seat Belt Violations — 4
Non-Moving Violations — 1
No Driver’s License — 1
Uninsured Motorists — 2
Misdemeanor Warrant Arrests — 3
Warnings — 35
