State police to hold sobriety checkpoint in Jackson County

Drivers in Jackson County will see a sobriety checkpoint this weekend, according to Indiana State Police. Troopers from the Versailles Post will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint at an undisclosed location in Friday and Saturday.

They say that drivers passing through the checkpoint area should have their licenses and registrations ready to present to troopers. Drivers will only be detained briefly while troopers determine whether further investigation is necessary.

Troopers are looking for drivers who are alcohol or drug impaired and pose a danger to others and themselves.

If you see a vehicle exhibiting erratic driving behavior, call 911 and give a complete description of the vehicle, its location, and direction of travel. These reports can be made anonymously.
