Results Of Sobriety Checkpoint Conducted In Caldwell County
Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer Troop H, St. Joseph, announces the results of a sobriety checkpoint in Caldwell County. The checkpoint was held from 10 p.m. on May 13, 2016, to 2 a.m. on May 14, 2016. As a result of this operation officers made eight arrests for felony drug violations, issued two citations and 37 warnings, and made six misdemeanor drug arrests.
“There is no room for impaired 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."
The only 100 percent survivable traffic 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."
