Sobriety Checkpoint Set For Friday In East Nashville
Metro Police will be checking for drunken drivers Friday night into Saturday morning at a checkpoint in East Nashville.

MNPD, via a grant from the Tennessee Highway Safety Office, will set up a sobriety checkpoint Friday evening into early Saturday morning on Gallatin Avenue in East Nashville.
