A DWI saturation operation in Andrew County on the night of New Year’s Eve netted three drunk driving arrests. Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer Troop H, says the saturation was held from 7:00 p.m. on December 31, 2014, to 3:00 a.m. on January 1, 2015.

 

During this enforcement operation four officers patrolled specific areas with a goal of detecting impaired drivers and other traffic violations that contribute to traffic crashes.

As a result of the operation, officers made the following enforcement contacts:
3-Arrests for driving while intoxicated
1-Arrest for minor in possession
6-Misdemeanor drug arrests
18-Citations for traffic offenses
44-Warnings

“Impaired driving poses a significant threat to motorists on Missouri’s roadways,” stated Captain McDonald. “One of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s highest priorities is removing the impaired driver from our roadways. If drinking is part of your plans, choose a sober designated driver.”
