This weekend the Riley County Police Department will be
having a sobriety checkpoint somewhere in the City of Manhattan. The checkpoint
will begin Saturday, May 10, 2014 and will continue into the morning ours of
Sunday, May 11, 2014. If you approach
this DUI checkpoint and the officers suspect that you are above the legal
limit, an on-site field sobriety test will be given.
The following things could give the officers suspicion that
you are under the influence: admitting to consuming alcohol, watery bloodshot
eyes, slurred speech, odor of intoxicants, and driving infractions.
If you are arrested for DUI you will be given a citation and
a notice to appear in the Manhattan Municipal
Court or the Riley
County District Court. You will
also have 14 days from the day of your citation to request an administrative
hearing to preserve your driving privileges.
If you think you maybe too impaired to drive, call a taxi or
designate a sober friend before the night of fun begins. If you do happen to
receive a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) citation, contact a knowledgeable Manhattan area attorney so they
can begin to preserve your driving privileges and help you reach a speedy
resolution to a DUI that could have lasting affects on your life.
