San Diego DUI update: plastic surgeon gets 1 year in jail for California DUI, checkpoint results in Riverside California
San Diego County's Specialist in DUI and DMV Law
A three-week countywide law enforcement operation to catch drunken drivers resulted in 430 arrests, Riverside County authorities said Tuesday. The county's ``Avoid the 30'' DUI enforcement campaign, which began Dec. 12 and ended New Year's Day, included multiple saturation traffic patrols and sobriety checkpoints, according to Riverside police Traffic Bureau Administrator Karen Haverkamp.
The campaign -- named for the 30 participating law enforcement agencies in Riverside County, including the sheriff's department and California Highway Patrol -- was funded via a $701,983 state grant, which will cover the cost of continued countywide anti-DUI operations through January 2011, Haverkamp said.
There were three fatal DUI-related collisions during the campaign. Two motorcyclists -- one in Norco, the other in Palm Springs -- were killed, and a bicyclist died in Hemet when an allegedly intoxicated driver plowed through a red light and struck him.
Haverkamp said 17 DUI checkpoints and nearly two-dozen coordinated saturation patrols throughout the county helped snare the 430 suspected drunken or drug-impaired drivers.

The plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West's mother before she died has been sentenced to a year in jail for drunken driving.
Dr. Jan Adams pleaded no contest to misdemeanor drunken driving last year.
Authorities say his Jaguar was spotted early June 26 traveling the wrong way on Interstate 680 near Cordelia. Adams' blood alcohol level was .20 percent.
Solano County Court Commissioner Ray Wieser sentenced the 54-year-old surgeon, author and TV personality Monday. He'll get credit for eight days he previously was jailed.
Adams performed breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction on Donda West a day before she died in 2007. An autopsy blamed heart disease coupled with complications from the surgery.
