Local Law Enforcement in partnership with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office and THP will be conducting Sobriety Checkpoints on Friday, April 14th, 2023 from 6pm until 2am in efforts to rid the roadways of impaired drivers.

Checkpoints may be located on Peavine Rd, which includes all of US Hwy 101 Lantana road and State Hwy 70. Officers will be paying special attention for the impaired driver that has chosen poorly and elects to drink and drive on these roadways. Officer’s overtime is paid through a grant with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office.  The THP also reports a Sobriety Checkpoint will be held on State Route 282/Dunbar Road on April 14

And in case you’re wondering why we the get the heads up about checkpoints…The highway patrol is required by law to give advance notice of sobriety checkpoints
