Sobriety checkpoints on the rise in Wa-Nee

ELKHART COUNTY - The Nappanee Police Department is joining about 230 law enforcement agencies across Indiana and thousands nationwide in the 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" mobilization. From mid-August through Labor Day, police will be out in full force arresting impaired drivers. Expect to see increased sobriety checkpoints, roving patrols, and saturation patrols. "Why are we giving drivers a heads up? Because Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over' is all about preventing impaired driving crashes, injuries, and deaths," said local law enforcement leaders. "Our officers have zero tolerance for impaired drivers on our roads, and we'll see you before you see us.” A driving while intoxicated (DWI) arrest means going to jail and losing your driver's license. The average DWI cost? About SIO,OOO, including car towing and repairs, attorney fees, fines, court costs, lost time at work, and other hefty expenses. Indiana law enforcement agencies have participated in annual "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" traffic enforcement for more than 20 years. Overtime patrols are supported with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
