No Refusal Numbers Washington County, Tennessee saw numbers for DUI arrests fall this holiday period. This could be because of the no refusal checkpoints held throughout the state. This means if someone is stopped and suspected of being intoxicated but refuses to be tested that officers can get a warrant to force the subject to be tested. Officers in the region held a no refusal checkpoint during the Thanksgiving holiday as well. State Representative Tony Shipley from Sullivan County authored the no refusal bill and is glad it seems to be working... Washington County say they had 15 arrests over the New Year's Holiday, twelve of those occurred in Johnson City. (CC)
