The Missouri State Highway Patrol announced another sobriety checkpoint and DWI saturation patrol.

Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, announces that sometime during the month of March, Troop H will conduct a sobriety checkpoint in Buchanan County and a DWI saturation in Nodaway County.

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.

“The Missouri State Highway Patrol is dedicated to removing intoxicated drivers from Missouri roadways,” stated Captain McDonald. “Anytime your plans include alcohol, please have a sober designated driver.”
