White County-Indiana State Police at the Lafayette Post will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint in White County during the late evening hours on Saturday, August 29, 2015.
Drivers that encounter a checkpoint will be required to produce a valid license and vehicle registration. Motorists that are not impaired can expect only short delays of 2-3 minutes while passing through the checkpoint. If all information is correct and there is no other reason to be detained, they will be released. After the checkpoint, troopers will conduct roving saturation patrols, aggressively seeking impaired drivers throughout the district.
Law Enforcement encourages all motorists to call 911, or the closest Indiana State Police Post, or police department when they observe another motorist that may be impaired. Be prepared to give a description of the vehicle, location and direction of travel.
The Indiana State Police are committed to traffic safety and will continue to conduct saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints to apprehend impaired drivers and to deter others from drinking and driving.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
