EMPHASIS: DWI Saturation In Saline County

Captain Robert L. Powell, commanding officer of Troop A, Lee’s Summit, announces that sometime during the month of January, a driving while intoxicated saturation will be conducted in Saline County.

The saturation is part of the continuing effort by the Missouri State Highway Patrol to remove intoxicated drivers from our highways. Members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol will concentrate their efforts on highways which have been found to have a higher number of alcohol-related crashes and enforcement contacts.

Captain Powell stated, “Do not let your life or someone else’s life be ruined by an alcohol-related crash or arrest. If you are going to drink, have a plan. Make sure that plan includes a designated driver.”

Leonard O’kee, 58, of Brunswick, will spend the next two years in Missouri Department of Corrections after he pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated. O’kee was sentenced by Judge Dennis A. Rolf in Saline County circuit court Monday, April 13.

O’kee was arrested February 21 following an early morning traffic stop on U.S. Highway 65 in Marshall. He was taken into custody after failing field sobriety tests. Subsequent testing showed his blood alcohol level to be more than three times the legal of 0.08 percent.

With additional convictions in 1991 and 1995, O’kee was sentenced as a prior and persistent offender.
