EMPHASIS: Troop G Releases Checkpoint Totals



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

A total of 12 arrests and 38 warnings were issued in conjunction with a sobriety checkpoint conducted in Reynolds County on July 5, 2014, at the intersection of Peola Road and County Road 364, near Lesterville, Missouri. Totals from this checkpoint include:

1-- driving while intoxicated arrest
3-- seat belt summonses
2-- non-moving summonses
4--speed summonses
2-- hazardous moving violation summonses



Captain Inman says, 'The motoring public has been very supportive of the Missouri State Highway Patrol's efforts to make our roads safer through the use of sobriety checkpoints. Nobody wants to share the road with a drunk, drugged, or otherwise unsafe driver.'

In support of 'The Drive To ZERO Highway Deaths,' the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!
