EMPHASIS: Troop B Officers To Conduct DWI Saturation In Chariton And Linn Counties


Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces that sometime during the month of October 2011, Troop B officers will conduct a DWI enforcement operation in Chariton and Linn counties. During the operation, troopers will focus their attention on highways in Chariton and Linn counties with a goal of detecting intoxicated drivers, and hazardous moving, speed, and other traffic violations that cause traffic crashes.
"The Patrol is committed to removing intoxicated drivers from our highways," stated Captain Wilt. "I would like to urge all motorists to choose a sober designated driver if drinking alcohol is a part of your plans."
