Sobriety checkpoints in September
September 16, 2010
St. Peters, MO
Law enforcement officers in the St. Charles County area will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint at undisclosed locations in St. Peters this month. The exact date and time of the checkpoint will not be released but will be held sometime between September 16 and September 30.
“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 an effort to identify and remove intoxicated drivers from the roadways.
