Troop G Releases Saturation Totals
Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, releases the following information:
A total of 19 citations and 14 warnings were issued in conjunction with a DWI saturation conducted in Ozark County on August 13, 2016. Also, troopers made one arrest for driving under the influence of drugs, four misdemeanor drug arrests, one felony drug arrest, and arrested one person for an outstanding misdemeanor warrant. This saturation targeted DWI enforcement along with other hazardous moving and alcohol-related offenses. The designated highways for this operation were Missouri Highway 181, and Missouri Routes CC, H, and PP. Totals from this saturation include:
5-- speed citations
7-- seat belt citations
1-- careless and imprudent driving citation
1-- child restraint violation citation
3-- driver license violation citations
1-- uninsured motorist citation
1-- stop sign violation citation
1-- arrest for driving under the influence of drugs
1-- felony drug arrest
4-- misdemeanor drug arrests
1-- arrest for an outstanding misdemeanor warrant
“The Missouri State Highway Patrol is dedicated to removing impaired drivers from our roadways,” said Captain Inman. “DWI saturations are one tool we use to make our roadways a safer place for Missouri’s motorists. Please be careful when behind the wheel and never drink and drive.”
The only 100 percent survivable crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.
“Don’t Violate The Trust.”
