Troop G Announces Saturation Results
Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, releases the following information:
A total of 21 citations and 32 warnings were issued in conjunction with a DWI saturation conducted in Howell County on May 13, 2016. Also, one person was arrested for driving while intoxicated and three people were arrested for outstanding misdemeanor warrants. This saturation targeted DWI enforcement along with other hazardous moving and alcohol-related offenses. The designated highways for this operation were U.S. Highway 60 and U.S. Highway 63. Totals from this saturation include:
12 -- speed citations
3 -- seat belt citations
3 -- non-moving violation citations
1 -- no driver license citation
2 -- uninsured motorist citations
3 -- misdemeanor warrant arrests
1 -- arrest for driving while intoxicated
Captain Inman says, “The Missouri State Highway Patrol is dedicated to removing impaired drivers from our roadways. DWI saturations are one tool we use to make our roadways a safer place for Missouri’s motorists. Please be careful when behind the wheel and never drink and drive.”
The only 100 percent survivable 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.”
