Checkpoint halts motorists
By Julia Connors | September 26Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard blazed with flashing lights and neon yellow vests Friday night as northbound traffic came to a standstill. Car by car, police asked each driver for a license and registration. Most people produced the information, and officers waved them on their way. But for some drivers the night was just beginning, and they would be in jail before it ended. The Chapel Hill Police Department along with seven other law enforcement agencies conducted a DWI checkpoint from 11 p.m. Friday until 3 a.m. Saturday.
