Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, announces the results of a sobriety checkpoint conducted in Douglas County on September 19, 2014. Troop G troopers conducted the checkpoint at the intersection of Missouri Highway 14 and Missouri Highway 181. As a result of the checkpoint, troopers checked 92 vehicles, made one arrest, issued six traffic citations and nine warnings. The following is a list of enforcement contacts made during the checkpoint:

1 -- Arrest for driving while intoxicated
2 -- Citations issued for driver's license violations

2 -- Citations issued for seat belt violations


Captain Inman says, "The Missouri State Highway Patrol is dedicated to removing impaired drivers from our state's roadways. I appreciate the motoring public's support of our use of sobriety checkpoints to make our roads safer. 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!!
