Checkpoints Coming To Greenville County This Weekend

Greenville's east side will be the site of a Greenville County Sheriff's Office safety checkpoint early from Friday to Sunday to protect the public, the agency confirmed Wednesday. 

No specifics location had yet been determined Thursday morning, but the GCSO did state in a release and on its web site:

"The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office will be hosting a multi-agency Sobriety Checkpoint this upcoming weekend on both the Eastside and Westside of Greenville County."

The GCSO has stated that the thought process behind telling the public about the checkpoints is that by alerting the public ahead of time, it will deter motorists from violating laws such as DUI.
