DUI checkpoints planned throughout Delaware for Halloween weekend

According to local television affiliate WBOC News, The Delaware Office of Highway Safety is coordinating statewide stepped up enforcement of Delaware’s DUI laws throughout Halloween weekend as part of the state’s Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign.

Five sobriety checkpoints are planned for Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. In addition, there will be an 8-hour checkpoint in the Wilmington area.

The DUI checkpoints are scheduled for the following areas:

Friday, Oct. 30

Wilmington (New Castle County DUI Task Force);

Smyrna (Smyrna Police Department);

Harrington (Harrington Police Department);

Saturday, Oct. 31

Millsboro (Millsboro Police Department);

Clayton (Clayton Police Department)

Seaford (Seaford Police Department- DUI patrols)

If you are in the unfortunate situation of being pulled over in a DUI checkpoint this weekend in Delaware, it’s important to know your rights.   Contact an attorney immediately if you are arrested.  The sooner an attorney is contacted, the sooner you can begin fighting the Delaware DUI charges against you.
