Captain Ronald S.

The purpose of Operation A.R.R.E.S.T. is to increase the motoring public’s awareness of the potential hazards of operating a motor vehicle while in an intoxicated condition.
Operation A.R.R.E.S.T. was conducted from 7 p.m., on Saturday, December 18, 2010, to 3 a.m., on Sunday, December 19, 2010, in Franklin County, Missouri. This eight-hour project was conducted by five officers, who focused their enforcement efforts on identifying hazardous motor vehicle operations and impaired driving conditions. During the operation, a total of 55 vehicles were stopped. Of those stopped, 17 drivers were either arrested or issued a summons, and 53 warnings were issued. Among the arrests, one subject was issued a summons for a speed violation, four subjects were issued summonses for other moving and non-moving violations, five subjects were issued summonses for seat belt violations, two subjects were issued summonses for driver's license violations, and one subject was issued a summons for an insurance violation. In addition, three subjects were arrested for DWI and one subject was arrested for a misdemeanor drug violation.
“Operation A.R.R.E.S.T. continues to be a success for Troop C.” said Captain Johnson. “This weekend we made our presence known, which helps us in our efforts to reduce the traffic crashes and fatalities that occur in the Franklin County area.”
