DUI Checkpoint Near Andover Tonight
Massachusetts State Police will conduct a sobriety checkpoint Saturday night into Sunday.

A sobriety checkpoint will be held somewhere in Middlesex County Saturday, December 3, state police announced. State Police will conduct the roadblock at night; it will last through early Sunday. Per usual state police policy, the exact location or time frame of the checkpoint was not divulged.
“The purpose is to further educate the motoring public and strengthen the public’s awareness to the need of detecting and removing those motorists who operate under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs from our roadways,” State Police Superintendent Richard McKeon said in a statement. “It will be operated during varied hours, the selection of vehicles will not be arbitrary, safety will be assured, and any inconveniences to motorists will be minimized with advance notice to reduce fear and anxiety.“
The effort is funded with a state grant.
