The Platte County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday it may be conducting sobriety checkpoints throughout the month of June.

Sheriff Mark Owen said most drivers that encounter a DWI checkpoint will only experience a brief delay.

“If a driver is suspected of being intoxicated, he/she will be asked to complete the Standard Field Sobriety Tests,” Owen said.

The department said any driver found to be impaired will be arrested and transported to the Platte County Detention Center.

“We appreciate the cooperation from the public as we conduct DWI checkpoints and take drunk drivers off our roads” Owen said.
