Four people were arrested during a sobriety checkpoint held over the weekend in DeKalb County.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol the checkpoint was held from 10 p.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday.  In addition to the four arrests made for driving while intoxicated troopers also issued five tickets and eight warnings.

“Removing impaired drivers from Missouri roadways is one of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s top priorities,” said Capt. James McDonald, commanding officer for Troop H, St. Joseph. “If you choose to drink and drive, you will be arrested and you will go to jail. If your plans include alcohol, always have a sober designated driver.”
