SAN DIEGO (CNS) – Nine motorists were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence at a checkpoint in Pacific Beach that ended Friday, police announced.<\/p>\n
Officers and deputies from the San Diego Police Department’s Traffic Division, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office and the UC San Diego Police Department conducted the DUI\/driver license checkpoint in the 2400 block of Grand Avenue, which began Thursday at 10 p.m. and ended at 2:30 a.m. Friday.<\/p>\n
Of the 944 vehicles that drove through the checkpoint, 589 vehicles were screened and 22 drivers were evaluated, police said.<\/p>\n
In addition to the nine DUI arrests, one driver was cited or arrested for allegedly operating a vehicle unlicensed or while suspended\/revoked. Ten vehicles were impounded, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
Police said checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.<\/p>\n
The SDPD will be conducting additional checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols, officials said.<\/p>\n
The checkpoint was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.<\/p>\n
