The Monongalia County Sheriff’s Department will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint at the intersection of Route 19/Fairmont Road and Interstate 79 on Thursday, October 22 from 8:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. Alternate routes will be marked by signs for drivers who wish to avoid the checkpoint.
If you have consumed drugs or alcohol, the best policy is not to drive, or to have a designated driver. If you are arrested, remember: (1) You have the right to remain silent, (2) You do not have to answer any questions without an attorney present, and (3) You should request that your arresting officer provide you with a blood test for drugs or alcohol.
Drive safely, and know your rights!
