State police holding sobriety checkpoint in Jackson County

Indiana State Police will have a sobriety checkpoint set up at an undisclosed location in Jackson County this weekend.

The Versailles District Post reports that they will be asking drivers who pass through the checkpoint to present their license and vehicle registration to the troopers and you may be detained while they determine if they need to investigate you further. State police say that the purpose of the checkpoint on Saturday and Sunday will be to remove drivers from roads who are impaired by alcohol or drugs.

State police suggest that if you are drinking over the weekend that you should plan ahead, use a designated driver and do not get behind the wheel of a vehicle yourself.

If you are driving and see a vehicle that you suspect has a drunk or drug-impaired driver you can call 911. Information can be left anonymously.
