10/30/2009 10:57:33 AM | Ryan Haidet, AkronNewsNow.com
Halloween weekend has arrived, and local authorities are out in full force to put a stop to drunk driving.

Last year, 58 percent of all highway fatalities in the country on Halloween night involved a drunk driver.
To help bring down that statistic locally, the Stark County Sheriff's Office will hold a sobriety checkpoint tonight starting at 6:30 p.m. in McKinley TOwnship.
Authorities will be checking for alcohol and drug impairment. Officers say they will be vigilant in detecting and apprehending impaired drivers.
If you plan on drinking this spooky weekend, make sure to grab a designated driver so things don't turn truly frightening.

Maybe they should set up outside on Tallmadge Ave. Oh, that's right, they wouldn't do that, they might catch some of Akron's finest or maybe even a politician or 2. Sounds like public show boating and hypocracy to me.

Lets catch the lower and middle class citizens doing wrong, yet let the Teflon Don skate by because he's the mayor. What a joke this city is.
