Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, releases the following information:
A total of 15 citations and 19 warnings were issued in conjunction with a DWI saturation conducted in Reynolds County on July 8, 2017. Also, four people were arrested for driving while intoxicated. This saturation targeted DWI enforcement along with other hazardous moving and alcohol-related offenses. The designated highways for this operation were Missouri Highway 21 and Missouri Route K. Totals from this saturation include:
2 -- speed citations
4 -- seat belt citations
1-- stop sign violation citation
2-- other hazardous moving citations
1-- no driver license citation
4-- non-moving violation citations
1 – uninsured motorist citation
4 – driving while intoxicated arrests
“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.”
