Drunk drivers cause busy weekend for Joplin Police Department

(From the Joplin Police Department)

We always say that one impaired driver is too many. So we have to ask, what is seven impaired drivers, three crashes caused by impaired drivers, an assault with a vehicle driven by an impaired driver and a pursuit of an impaired driver? Unfortunately it's not a riddle, Instead it is what our department dealt with this weekend that was completely avoidable and should have never happened!
When in doubt, get a sober driver.



-Saturday at 1:57am DWI Crash at 4436 43 Highway
-Saturday at 2:06am DWI Arrest at 7th and Virginia
-Saturday at 11:15pm two DWI Arrests at 8th and Chestnut (both were driving same vehicle at same location during a disturbance call)
-Sunday at 6:50pm DWI Arrest at 7th and Range Line
