PSP Meadville to conduct sobriety checkpoint over Fourth of July weekend

  • Between July 4 and 6, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency plans to boost patrols and enforce laws against boating under the influence as part of the Operation Dry Water initiative.
  • Launched in 2009 by the organization overseeing state boating law officials, Operation Dry Water seeks to decrease alcohol- and drug-related boating accidents through enhanced enforcement efforts and public education.
  • Law enforcement officers will use sobriety checkpoints and increased water patrols to raise public awareness that alcohol impairs reflexes, judgment, and coordination, increasing fatal boating accident risks.
  • In Tennessee, operating a vessel with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or above is against the law, and violators can face consequences such as fines, jail time, seizure of the boat, and suspension of boating rights, with no warnings issued, according to Lt. Matt Majors.
  • The campaign’s combined enforcement and educational initiatives have effectively helped remove impaired boat operators, contributing to safer and more pleasant boating conditions for everyone on Tennessee’s waterways.
