A sobriety checkpoint held over St. Patrick’s Day in Buchanan County landed in 10 arrests.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the checkpoint held from 8 p.m. Thursday to midnight resulted in two arrests for driving while intoxicated, two misdemeanor drug arrests and six misdemeanor warrant arrests.

Officers also issued seven tickets and eight warnings.

“Removing impaired drivers from Missouri roadways is one of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s top priorities,” said Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer 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.”
