Sobriety Checkpoint Scheduled for Friday Night

In Louisiana alone, almost half of all fatality crashes involve impaired drivers. To combat impaired driving in our area, Louisiana State Police Troop F will team up with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the University of Louisiana at Monroe Police Department this Friday, February 12th. A sobriety checkpoint will be conducted in Ouachita Parish from approximately 9:00 pm to 3:00 am.

The mission of the departments involved will be to intercept and incarcerate impaired drivers before they cause injury to themselves, their passengers or members of the public. Drivers are less likely to drive impaired when they recognize the increased probability of law enforcement action.

There are no excuses for impaired driving and those who choose to endanger themselves or others will be arrested.
