State Police Planning DUI Checkpoints For Beaver County In Coming Weeks

A sobriety checkpoint will be conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police within Beaver County in the upcoming weeks. State police say motorists that encounter the checkpoint will be stopped briefly when there is an indication that a driver has consumed alcohol or controlled substances, or committed any other violation of the law, the occupants may be detained for further investigation. Motorists are advised to be aware of their surroundings and to have their license, registrations and insurance cards readily available. Motorists are also encouraged to drive sober or get a designated driver, along with using their seat belts. Primary emphasis will be on driving under the influence violations, but all laws will be enforced. Motorists are also reminded of the Steer Clear Law which states that motorists must move over to lane furthest away from stopped emergency vehicles and/or slow down if it is not possible to move over.

PA Attorney General Shapiro Meets with Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse

Attorney General Josh Shapiro today met with a group of survivors of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania.  The meeting took place in the personal office of Attorney General Shapiro in Strawberry Square.

“I met today with a group of brave, strong people who have experienced terrible trauma – sexual abuse at the hands of priests within the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania,” Attorney General Shapiro said. “I listened to their truth. Their stories are powerful and traumatic and I was inspired by their courage.”

“The people of Pennsylvania have the right to hear what I heard today. The voices of these victims, who have held this pain inside themselves for far too long, must not be silenced.”

“My team and I remain focused and committed to ensuring that the Grand Jury report on our investigation into sexual abuse within the Church is released.”
