DWI Checkpoint In Ocean County This Weekend: NJ State Police

New Jersey State Police will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint in Toms River on Saturday, police announced on Facebook Friday evening.

"In an effort to make our roads safer and reduce crashes attributed to driving while under the influence, the New Jersey State Police will set up a sobriety checkpoint on Saturday, August 18, in the Toms River, Ocean County area.," the post said.

It did not specify the location in Toms River.

"If you see someone you believe is posing a hazard because of poor driving behaviors, please dial #77 from a hands-free mobile device to contact the aggressive driver tip line and make a report. Be ready to give a description of the vehicle and occupants, a location and direction, and a license plate if possible," police said.

Troopers will be looking for signs of impairment due to alcohol or drugs. If you plan to drink, have a designated driver, arrange for transportation or stay where you are. It’s not worth the risk of hurting or killing yourself, a friend, a loved one, or innocent motorist.
