EMPHASIS: Troop B Officers To Conduct DWI Enforcement Operation In Marion And Ralls Counties


Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces that sometime during the month of January 2011, Troop B officers will conduct a DWI enforcement operation in Marion and Ralls counties. During the operation, extra troopers will focus their attention to highways in Marion and Ralls 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."
