Sobriety Checkpoint Dedicated in Kevin's Honor. The University of Maryland, Dept. of Public Safety and the the Campus Police created a poster for Kevin and used it at the entrance to the sobriety checkpoint. Friends and family held a candlelight vigil during part of the checkpoint. Sadly, several drunk driving arrests took place during the evening.
