Maryland State Police to conduct sobriety checkpoint in Harford County

On Friday, September 21, 2018, Maryland State Police have announced that they will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint in Harford County.

Troopers have investigated over 60 collisions this year in which a driver was under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both.

Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspensions, and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.

Police have not given a specific location for the checkpoint.
