A weekend DWI checkpoint in Platte County results in 12 DWI arrest.

The checkpoint Friday was held at Missouri Highway 152 at Platte Purchase Drive from 11 pm to 3:30am.

13 other arrest were made, including a charge of resisting arrest and three misdemeanor drug arrest. More than 1,000 cars were checked during the four and a half-hour operation by the Highway Patrol, Kansas City Police and the Platte County Sheriff’s Office.

A Buchanan County checkpoint netted two arrest for DWI and 28 warnings.  That checkpoint Saturday was held at US Highway 59 and Atchison Street.  Officers check 277 vehicles over four hours.

Meanwhile, Troop-H announced last week a sobriety checkpoint and DWI saturation enforcement are scheduled for July in Clinton County.

The saturation is designed as a mobile operation in which troopers saturate a specific Highway to arrest intoxicated drivers.

“Summer is a time for outdoor activities and parties. If your plans include alcohol, please designate a sober driver,” Troop-H commanding officer, Captain Duane Robinson said.

You can report impaired drivers to the Highway Patrol at anytime by dialing star-55 on your cellphone.
