The Missouri State Highway Patrol has announced it will hold a DWI checkpoint in Clinton County sometimes during the month of December.

Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer, Troop H, St. Joseph said “The areas selected for enforcement are based on a high number of drinking-related crashes, high number of contacts with drivers who have been drinking, and officers’ input as to probable contact with DWI violators.”

If you witness an individual driving drunk McDonald said to contact law enforcement authorities.

“Intoxicated drivers pose a real danger on Missouri roadways,” said McDonald. “Please assist the Missouri State Highway Patrol in removing impaired drivers from our roadways by contacting us toll-free at 1-800-525-5555 or cellular *55.”
