We were VERY short on volunteers. A special thanks to Lena Craft and Beth Orodorff once again for their gallant efforts to try to get multiple cars and give out this important literature. Of the 6 arrests, there were two drunk in public, and one a wanted hit-and-run from Maryland. For some reason Maryland police wouldn't come to apprehend the person even as they were working the crime scene. The suspect was subsequently released. There was also one drunk dad with two small children in the car. He was arrested for child endangerment. |

This is what we like to see. No arrests. However, while the checkpoint was in operation, a Sterling man was apparently run over and killed by his own car following a parking lot collision in which he got out to check on the other driver and forgot to put his car in Park and set the emergency brake.

Thanks to all the volunteers who showed up and braved the cold on Friday. |
Note: Percentages reflect the number of arrests as a result of additional testing of drivers suspected of being under the influence, and is the method used by County.
Thanks to all who have volunteered in 2004.
