DWI Checkpoint Set For Point Pleasant Beach

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ — Authorities will be checking for drunken or otherwise impaired drivers during a DWI/DUI checkpoint Saturday in Point Pleasant Beach, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office announced.

Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said the prosecutor’s office along with police officers from Point Pleasant and Point Pleasant Beach will be conducting the checkpoint from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Route 35 south in Point Pleasant Beach.

"Officers will be screening drivers for signs of impairment," the announcement said.

Motorists who see someone they believe is "posing a hazard because of poor driving behaviors" are urged to dial #77 from a hands-free mobile device to contact the aggressive driver tip line and make a report.

"Please be prepared to give a description of the vehicle and occupants, a location and direction, and a license plate if possible," the prosecutor's office said.
