A sobriety checkpoint in Clinton County last weekend took at least one drunk driver off the road. Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer Troop H, St. Joseph, announced the results. The checkpoint was held from 10 p.m. on August 26, 2016, to 2 a.m. on August 27, 2016.

As a result of this operation, officers made one arrest for driving while intoxicated, issued two citations and four warnings, and made one misdemeanor warrant arrest.

“Removing impaired drivers from Missouri roadways is one of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s top priorities,” states Captain McDonald. “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.”
