WICHITA, Kan (KSNW) — The Harvey County Sheriff’s Office is planning a DUI checkpoint this weekend.
It will operate somewhere in the county Saturday evening into Sunday morning. Other area law enforcement agencies, including the Kansas Highway Patrol, will be participating.
At the checkpoint, drivers will be briefly stopped. An officer will speak to them, and anyone suspected of driving under the influence will be directed to pull over for further examination.

Driving under the influence puts not only the driver in danger, but also passengers, pedestrians and other drivers sharing the road. The intent of the check lane is to educate drivers about the dangers of intoxicated driving, and to remove any driver from the road who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
