EMPHASIS: Patrol To Conduct Sobriety Saturation In St. Louis County


Captain Ronald S. Johnson, commanding officer of Troop C, announces that the Missouri State Highway Patrol will be conducting a sobriety saturation in St. Louis County sometime during the month of May. The location of the saturation has been determined due to previous alcohol-related incidents, high number of alcohol-related contacts, and input by local troopers.
“Driving while under the influence of alcohol continues to be a major contributing factor of traffic crashes on Missouri’s roadways. If you observe an intoxicated driver, please call *55 on your cellular phone. Your call will be routed to the closest troop headquarters,” stated Captain Johnson.
