Teams of officers will check drivers for sobriety during a checkpoint from 11 p.m. New Year’s Eve to 1 a.m. New Year’s Day on Rutherford Boulevard in Murfreesboro.
“We want to remind drivers to refrain from drinking and driving, especially during the New Year’s Eve holiday,” Boyd said. “We hope the checkpoint will remind drivers to be careful to prevent traffic deaths and crashes.”
Boyd recommended people who plan to drink to use a designated driver, call a friend for a ride or use a ride share.
“Our goal is to keep drivers and other travelers safe during the first holiday of 2022,” Boyd said.
