Eight Motorists Arrested on Suspicion of Impaired Driving

Mon, 2019-12-16

Eight motorists were arrested on suspicion of impaired driving over the weekend, with road sobriety checkpoints conducted in seven parishes from the evening of Friday, December 13th until the evening of Sunday, December 15th.

Members of the public socialising at staff Christmas parties or festive events with family and friends are reminded to carefully consider their options to get home safely.

If you intend on consuming alcohol at get-togethers this holiday season – please, do not make the mistake of driving whilst impaired. Poor choices can have long term ramifications.

While there are no road sobriety checkpoints scheduled for this coming weekend, members of the public are urged not to drive or ride under the influence as police officers conducting their regular patrols will be on the lookout for any offences, including impaired driving.
