Sea Bright DWI Roadblock and/or Checkpoint
SEA BRIGHT — A joint task force made up of members from the Monmouth County DWI Task Force and Sea Bright Police Department will conduct a roadblock this weekend to detect drivers under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. If arrested for driving while intoxicated, you can be charged with N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 (DWI), N.J.S.A. 2C:35-10 (possession of a cds) and/or N.J.S.A. 39:4-49.1 (possession of cds by the operator of a motor vehicle).
The roadblock will run between 11:00 p.m. Saturday evening and run through 3:00 a.m. Sunday on Route 36. The members will direct vehicles from the northbound lanes into the Peninsula House parking lot to determine drivers' sobriety. The reason the Police post the whereabouts of these DWI stops is because the police are required to follow a strict protocol or the charges can be dismissed against the defendant.
