Police Release Results from Warrenville Roadside Safety Check

WHEATON, IL - Illinois State Police and the Warrenville Police Department issued several citations during a roadside safety check held during the late evening hours of Saturday, May 21 in Warrenville.

Police conducted the roadside safety check on Route 59 south of Batavia Road in Warrenville, according to an Illinois State Police press release. 

In total, 22 citations or arrests were made. Police issued tickets for seven driver’s license offenses, one occupant restraint offense and arrested three for alcohol/drug offenses. In total, three warnings were handed out.

Alcohol is involved in nearly 40 percent of fatal crashes in Illinois. Roadside Safety Checks are designed to remove alcohol and drug-impaired drivers, however, when other violations are observed such as driving with a suspended or revoked license, operating a vehicle without a valid registration or insurance, or safety belt violations, enforcement action may be taken.

This project was funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Transportation Safety.
