EMPHASIS: Results Of DWI Checkpoint In Grundy County

Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer Troop H, St. Joseph, announces the results of a sobriety checkpoint in Grundy County. The checkpoint was held from 10 p.m. on December 19, 2015, to 2 a.m. on December 20, 2015. As a result of this operation officers made one driving while intoxicated arrest, two felony drug arrests, and issued nine summonses for traffic violations.

“There is no room for intoxicated drivers on Missouri roadways. If you choose to drink and drive, you will lose,” states Captain McDonald. “If your plans include consuming alcohol, have a sober designated driver."

Approximately 63 percent of Missouri fatal crash victims who are required to be restrained are NOT at the time of the traffic crash. The Patrol urges motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Join us in supporting the Drive To Zero Highway Deaths. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!
