A DWI saturation in Nodaway County over the weekend lead to tickets and warnings for many drivers.
Captain James McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H in St. Joseph said a saturation was held from 7:00 p.m. on March 14, 2015, to 3:00 a.m. on March 15, 2015 in Nodaway County. During this enforcement operation six officers patrolled specific areas with a goal of detecting impaired drivers and other traffic violations that contribute to traffic crashes. As a result of the operation, officers issued eight citations for traffic violations and 61 warnings.
“Impaired driving poses a significant threat to motorists on Missouri’s roadways,” Captain McDonald said. “One of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s highest priorities is removing the impaired driver from our roadways. If drinking is part of your plans, choose a sober designated driver.”
