EMPHASIS: Troop G Announces Results Of Special Enforcement Operation

A total of 13 citations and 20 warnings were issued in conjunction with a hazardous moving violation enforcement operation conducted in Shannon County on May 16, 2015. Also, troopers arrested one person for driving while intoxicated and one person for an outstanding misdemeanor warrant. Totals from this enforcement effort include:

3 -- seat belt citations
7 -- speed citations
1 -- no driver’s license citation
1 -- non-moving violation citation
1 -- hazardous moving citation
1 -- arrest for driving while intoxicated
1 -- misdemeanor warrant arrest.

Captain Inman says, “Hazardous moving violation operations are one tool the Missouri State Highway Patrol uses in order to make our roadways a safer place for Missouri’s motorists. Please be careful when behind the wheel and always be a courteous driver.”

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.
