The Woodbridge Police held a DWI
Sobriety Checkpoint and staffed roving patrols this past weekend resulting in
10 arrests for drunk driving. The
patrols were funded in part by the Middlesex County Prosecutors Office and the
New Jersey Drunk Driving Enforcement Fund.
The additional patrols resulted in multiple arrests for outstanding
warrants, and allowed for the investigation and arrest of a hit and run DWI
suspect.
Police Director Robert Hubner noted, “Alcohol
consumption impairs your judgment and reaction time, putting not only yourself,
but everyone on the road, in danger.”
Captain Roy Hoppock added “We know that our extra
efforts will make the roads safer for the residents of Woodbridge and those who
travel throughout our Township.”
The “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign
raises awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving through
high-visibility enforcement and public education.
