Troop G Releases DWI Saturation Totals
Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, releases the following information:
A total of 19 citations and 41 warnings were issued in conjunction with a DWI saturation conducted in Reynolds County on July 21, 2018. Also, one person was arrested for driving while intoxicated and one person was arrested for an outstanding felony warrant. This saturation targeted DWI enforcement along with other hazardous moving and alcohol-related offenses. The designated highway for this operation was Missouri Highway 21. Totals from this saturation include:
2 -- speed citations
9 -- seat belt citations
1 -- child restraint violation citation
4 -- non-moving violation citations
2 -- driver license violation citations
1 -- stop sign violation citation
1 -- felony warrant arrest
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 a safer place 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.”
