SHINNSTON — The Shinnston Police Department will conduct a
sobriety checkpoint from 7-11 p.m. Friday on U.S. 19 adjacent to Big Elm
Elementary School.
An alternate location will be on U.S. 19 in front of Lincoln
High School, according to a press release from the police department.
The primary purpose of the checkpoint is to educate the motoring
public about the effects of impaired driving either by drugs, alcohol or
both. The checkpoint will serve as a deterrent for impaired driving.
During the checkpoint, drivers will be checked for any other
traffic violations as well.
Area police alert motorists to DUI checkpoints, and alternate
routes, because of Fourth Amendment concerns.
