| TROOP A NEWS RELEASE May 6, 2016 DWI Checkpoint Scheduled for East Baton Rouge Parish In an effort to combat impaired driving, Louisiana State Police Troop A will collaborate with the Baton Rouge Police Department and the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office to conduct a DWI Checkpoint at an undisclosed location in East Baton Rouge Parish. The checkpoint will take place on Saturday, May 7, 2016 at approximately 11:00 pm. Troopers and officers will be looking for those drivers who choose to drive impaired. The task of stopping impaired drivers is a joint effort of law enforcement agencies as well as the public. By never allowing an impaired driver to get behind the wheel of a vehicle and reporting dangerous drivers to law enforcement, the public can play an important role in the reduction of crashes caused by impaired drivers. Making poor decisions in a vehicle such as driving impaired, driving while distracted and/or not wearing a seatbelt leads to serious injuries and deaths every day across the state. Troopers stress to drivers that impairment is not caused by only alcohol. If a driver is found to be under the influence of certain narcotic medications or illegal substances, they too can be arrested for DWI. If you see an aggressive or impaired driver you can report them by dialing *LSP (*577) or your local law enforcement agency. Contact Information: | |||
