EMPHASIS: Troop G Announces Saturation Results


Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, releases the following information:

A total of nine citations and 16 warnings were issued in conjunction with a DWI saturation conducted in Howell County on March 18, 2016. Also, one person was arrested for driving while intoxicated. This saturation targeted DWI enforcement along with other hazardous moving and alcohol-related offenses. The designated highways for this operation were U.S. Highway 60, U.S. Highway 160, and Missouri Highway 17. Totals from this saturation include:

7 -- speed citations
1 -- stop sign violation citation
1 -- hazardous moving violation citation
1 -- arrest for driving while intoxicated

Captain Inman says, “The Missouri State Highway Patrol is dedicated to removing impaired drivers from our roadways. DWI saturations are one tool we use to make our roadways a safer place for Missouri’s motorists. Please be careful when behind the wheel and never drink and drive.”

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!!
