A sobriety checkpoint operated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol earlier this month resulted in one DWI arrest, two citations, and 19 warnings.
Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, announced the results of the checkpoint in Clinton County December 20.
The checkpoint was held from 10 p.m. on December 20, 2014, to 2 a.m. on December 21, 2014. As a result of this operation officers checked the drivers of 82 vehicles that passed through the checkpoint.
“There is no room for intoxicated drivers on Missouri roadways. If you choose to drink and drive, you will lose,” states Captain McDonald. “If your plans include consuming alcohol, have a designated driver.”
