MSHP encourages you to have a safe Labor Day Weekend
In 2015, 10 people were killed and 508 injured in Missouri over the Labor Day holiday in 1,094 traffic crashes. That means one person was killed or injured every nine minutes. Of that total, troopers worked 348 traffic crashes, which included 167 injuries and eight of the fatalities over the 2015 Labor Day holiday. Troopers arrested 121 people for driving while intoxicated during last year’s holiday weekend.
The 2016 counting period for the Labor Day holiday will be from 6 p.m., Friday, September 2, through 11:59 p.m., Monday, September 5, 2016.
The Highway Patrol will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) over the Labor Day holiday weekend. All available officers will be patrolling Missouri’s roadways enforcing Missouri’s speed limit, seat belt, and alcohol laws, in addition to being available to assist motorists. Troopers throughout the state will participate in a special enforcement operation on September 2 and again on September 5. This operation will include Interstates 29, 44, 55, and 70, and U.S. Highways 60 and 61. Troopers will be targeting all traffic violations, and be especially vigilant of aggressive driving violations.
Col. Johnson reminds the public that the Labor Day holiday is a busy boating weekend. In 2015, there were 11 boating crashes which included two fatalities and 10 injuries. There were three drownings over last year's Labor Day holiday. Troopers arrested 22 people for boating while intoxicated during last year's counting period. In an effort to increase safety on our state’s waters, all available officers will be working over the holiday weekend. Missouri’s boaters are asked to do their part by remaining alert for other boats and swimmers, and being courteous on the water. With more boats on the water, it is even more important to pay attention when operating a vessel.
Remember: If you choose to drink alcohol, don’t operate a vessel. Alcohol consumption slows reaction time. Pay attention to the boats around you and ask your passengers to assist with this. Evasive maneuvers should be made early and deliberately. Check your vessel’s navigation lights before heading out at night, and be sure to have spare bulbs on board. Avoid overloading your boat with too many passengers, and observe Missouri’s nighttime speed limit of 30 miles per hour on the water.
“The Patrol encourages everyone to have a safe Labor Day holiday,” said Colonel Johnson. “Please buckle up in your vehicle and wear a life jacket on or near water. If you witness criminal activity or experience an emergency—whether you're on a highway or on the water— call the Patrol's Emergency Report Line at 1 (800) 525-5555 or *55 on a cellular phone. If your celebration includes alcohol, designate someone else to drive, whether you are in your boat or your car. Please don't become a statistic.”

The charge stems from a sheriff’s office investigation the same day when a deputy was on patrol and noticed an unoccupied vehicle on the side of NE Highway C. A check of the registration discovered it did not check to the vehicle.
During the investigation a bag containing a white crystal substance and a glass pipe were located in the vehicle. Both items field tested positive for methamphetamine. A small amount of marijuana was also located during the investigation.
