Sobriety Checkpoint affirmed

A sobriety checkpoint in Williamson County resulted in the arrest and conviction for DUI 3rd offense for Elliot Aloyo. The defendant challenged the checkpoint. Judge Ogle for the Court of Criminal Appeals wrote a thorough opinion, which included consideration of prior decisions. The conviction was affirmed.
Judge Ogle noted that no drug dogs were at the checkpoint as evidence that the sobriety checkpoint was not a general or multi- purpose checkpoint.
