The North Dakota Highway Patrol and the Dickey County Sheriff's Department conducted a DUI checkpoint in Dickey County on Friday, July 13.  Saturation patrols were conducted in Dickey, Logan, and McIntosh Counties on July 13 and 14.


Seventeen vehicles were stopped at the checkpoint and no citations were issued.  During the saturation patrol, 23 citations were issued to include 2 open container citations, 1 DUI, and 6 drug charges. The goal of alcohol enforcement saturation is to remove impaired drivers from roadways.  High-visibility enforcement is one element of a collaborative effort to help meet the goal of zero motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.  

 
Through July 15,  23.3 percent of North Dakota's 43 fatal crashes have been alcohol-related.
