Police Plan Sobriety Checkpoint

For April 29-30

During the nighttime hours of Saturday April 29, and early morning hours of Sunday April 30, town police plan to hold a sobriety checkpoint on an unspecified local road.

Ten police officers and one supervisor will staff the checkpoint, police said

Each vehicle traveling through the checkpoint will be briefly stopped.  Drivers will be interviewed to determine if they are operating under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

Drivers found to be under the influence will be arrested and transported to the police station for arrest processing.

This is the first sobriety checkpoint of the year.  Four more similar sobriety checkpoints are slated for the summer months, according to police Sergeant Christopher Vanghele.
