The Cannon County Sheriff’s Department and the Woodbury Police Department will be conducting a safety and sobriety checkpoint on Saturday on McMinnville Highway in Woodbury. A county wide campaign will be held throughout the 4th of July holiday weekend.
In addition to this checkpoint, officers will be taking part in saturation patrols throughout the weekend thanks to a Tennessee Highway Safety Office grant to ensure the safety of the motoring public. Anyone who chooses to drive while being intoxicated whether it be drugs or alcohol, will be arrested. The primary message behind this campaign is “Booze It And Lose It”
Officers will evaluate drivers for signs of alcohol or drug impairment. Officers will target those who operate a vehicle while impaired and take corrective action for other violations observed while ensuring the protection of all motorists so everyone will be able to have a safe holiday weekend.
