Police to hold sobriety checkpoint this weekend
June 11, 2010
St. Peters, MO
Law Enforcement officers in the St. Charles County area will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint in an undisclosed location in St. Peters this weekend. The exact date and time of the checkpoint will not be released, but it will be held sometime between June 10th and 13th.
“It’s never worth the risk to drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Drivers could lose their license, pay large fines, or worst of all, cause a tragic loss of life,” said Chief Tom Bishop.
In 2008, 262 people died and 4,511 people were injured in the more than 7,784 alcohol-related traffic crashes in Missouri. St. Peters will continue to conduct sobriety checkpoints throughout the year in our efforts to identify and remove intoxicated drivers from our roadways.
