Results Of Sobriety Checkpoint Conducted In Andrew County
Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer Troop H, St. Joseph, announces the results of a sobriety checkpoint in Andrew County. The checkpoint was held from 10 p.m. on September 17, 2016, to 2 a.m. on September 18, 2016. As a result of this operation officers made two arrests for driving while intoxicated, and issued two citations and 22 warnings.
“There is no room for impaired drivers on Missouri roadways. If you choose to drink and drive, you will lose,” states Captain McDonald. “If your plans include consuming alcohol, have a sober designated driver."
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri's roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.
"Don't Violate The Trust."
