EMPHASIS: Troop B Officers To Conduct DWI Saturations In Adair And Macon Counties

Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces that sometime during the months of July and August 2011, Troop B officers will conduct DWI enforcement operations in Adair and Macon counties. During the operations, extra troopers will focus their attention to highways in Adair and Macon counties with a goal of detecting intoxicated drivers, 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."
