A few preliminary numbers are in regarding Friday night’s sobriety checkpoint.

In an effort to reduce the number of crashes and injuries stemming from drunken and impaired drivers, the Lawrence Police Department established the checkpoint Friday to make sure motorists were being safe.

In all, police arrested two people on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads. In addition, police caught three drug violations and three open-container violations.

Rhoads said she could not immediately say how many cars passed through the checkpoint on Friday.

The checkpoint was funded through the Kansas Department of Transportation and was the fifth of seven such patrols this year, Rhoads said.
