EMPHASIS: Troop G To Conduct Sobriety Checkpoint



Captain Dwayne F. Isringhausen, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that a sobriety checkpoint will be held in Howell County sometime in the month of December. The Missouri State Highway Patrol, in cooperation with other area law enforcement agencies, will conduct the checkpoint.

Sobriety checkpoints are part of the Patrolās efforts to remove careless and intoxicated drivers from Missouriās highways. These checkpoints are conducted at various locations which have been found to experience a higher than normal number of alcohol-related contacts, hazardous driving contacts, and traffic crashes.

Captain Isringhausen says, āThe use of sobriety checkpoints enable the Missouri State Highway Patrol to enhance our efforts in removing drugged and intoxicated drivers from our roadways. Please, never drink and drive.ā
