The South Dakota Highway Patrol will be stopping cars at checkpoints in many parts of the state in October. They want to stop people from driving after drinking or taking drugs.
These checkpoints will happen in these counties: Beadle, Bennett, Brookings, Clay, Codington, Custer, Fall River, Jerauld, Lawrence, Marshall, Meade, Minnehaha, Pennington, and Walworth.
The police say that driving drunk is never a good idea, even if there are no checkpoints nearby.
Note: The specific locations of the sobriety checkpoints will be announced closer to the event date.
