Troop G Releases Results Of Enforcement Operation
Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, releases the following information:
A total of 22 citations and 46 warnings were issued in conjunction with a DWI saturation conducted in Texas County on December 31, 2018. Also, troopers arrested one person for driving while intoxicated and two for drug violations. 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:
10 -- speed citations
1 -- seat belt citation
1 -- child restraint violation citation
3 -- driver license violation citations
2 – non-moving violation citations
5 – uninsured motorist citations
2 -- misdemeanor drug arrests
1 -- driving while intoxicated arrest
“The Missouri State Highway Patrol is dedicated to removing impaired drivers from our roadways,” said Captain Inman. “DWI saturations are one tool we use to make our roadways safer for Missouri’s motorists. Please be careful when behind the wheel and never drink and drive.”
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
.”
