Roadblock: State Police Hold Sobriety Checkpoint in Worcester County

WESTBOROUGH, MA—It's a big mistake to drink and drive, regardless. But if you needed another reason not to do so, here it is.

Massachusetts State Police are setting up a Sobriety Checkpoint on a public way in Worcester County.

The checkpoint will be held Friday, Sept. 22, into Saturday, Sept. 23.

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. 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.
