Pennsylvania State Police<\/a> made three arrests for driving under the influence during a roving patrol over the weekend in Northampton County<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Troopers conducted the patrol from 10 p.m. Friday through 3 a.m. Saturday, covering Interstate 78, Route 33 Route 22 in the county. In addition to the three DUI arrests, troopers issued 28 traffic citations and 29 traffic warnings.<\/p>\n

The Pennsylvania State Police Troop M-Belfast had previously announced there would be a sobriety checkpoint somewhere in the county during those times, but said on Monday that it conducted the roving patrol instead due to weather conditions. <\/p>\n

During sobriety checkpoints, troopers systematically stop vehicles at selected locations to briefly observe drivers for behaviors normally associated with alcohol or drug impairment. The checkpoints aim to reduce the number of alcohol and drug-related fatal and serious crashes and decrease the number of impaired drivers on Pennsylvania highways.<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania State Police warned motorists about the penalties for fleeing law enforcement. Under Title 75 Section 3733, drivers who willfully fail to stop for police or attempt to elude officers can face charges up to a third-degree felony. The offense carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison, a $15,000 fine and restitution for damages or injuries resulting from a pursuit.<\/p>\n
