MSHP reports street takeovers and sideshows becoming more frequent in Missouri
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The Missouri State Highway Patrol has reported that both street takeovers and sideshows are becoming more frequent on Missouri roadways.
This information comes from a social media post on Facebook, following a recent sideshow in northeast Missouri.
In addition to traffic citations, MSHP arrested seven people for DWI, made two drug arrests and one warrant arrest.
A street takeover, or a "sideshow," is defined as an "event where a group of individuals gather using motor vehicles to engage in reckless and dangerous activities," that's according to the Milwaukee Police Department, which has done in-depth reports on tackling street takeovers.
