Sobriety checkpoints Friday night by Shinnston police


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.

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.
