Sobriety Checkpoint Set for Eureka
A sobriety checkpoint will be conducted in Eureka on March 1 by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department officers.
Sheriff Oliver “Glenn” Boyer announced in a news release that the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department will be conducting sobriety checkpoints on Feb. 13 in Arnold, Feb. 21 in Imperial and March 1 in Eureka.
Sobriety checkpoints increase the opportunity for the apprehension of intoxicated and impaired drivers that normally would escape detection, unless they were observed committing a violation or in a traffic crash, Boyer stated in the news release.
Boyer emphasized that those who attend gatherings where alcohol is consumed should be responsible, and have a sober driver take them home.
