MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) -- Campus police at Morehead State University are using special flashlights to help detect underage drinking.
Michelle Webb, a substance abuse prevention treatment counselor at the university, said a grant funded purchase of two passive alcohol sensor lights. The devices detect alcohol in the air, especially in close quarters like a car.
Webb said the lights are already in use and the aim is to increase detection and conviction rates for drunken drivers.
The lights also let police detect the presence of alcohol without leaning into a car.
