San Diego (El Cajon) California DUI checkpoint & Citrus Heights drunk driving checkpoints coming up
San Diego DUI Defense Resource Center reports these checkpoints for California:
The El Cajon Police Department will conduct a Sobriety Checkpoint beginning Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at approximately 7 p.m. until 2 a.m. Wednesday, May 6, 2009. The checkpoint is designed to reduce the number of D.U.I. incidents in the City of El Cajon. The exact location of the checkpoint will not be announced until two hours prior to the start of the operation.*
Motorists approaching the checkpoint will be diverted into an area where an officer will contact them. The drivers will be stopped only for a few moments while the purpose of the checkpoint is explained. Those who appear to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be given field sobriety tests and face possible arrest. Traffic volume permitting, all vehicles will be checked.
Three drivers were arrested on suspicion of DUI and one driver was arrested for an outstanding warrant during a recent DUI/driver's license checkpoint conducted by the Citrus Heights Police Department, according to information released today.
More than 1,000 vehicles passed through the checkpoint between 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2:30 a.m. Saturday on Greenback Lane, west of Sunrise Boulevard, Lieutenant Eric Mattke said in a news release.
In addition to the arrests, 15 drivers were given sobriety tests and thirteen vehicles were towed, Mattke said.
The checkpoint is one in a series that are being funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
