Checkpoint catches impaired drivers

Oxnard--Between the hours of 7 p.m. and 2 a.m. Friday, December 15, the Oxnard Police Department held a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint at Oxnard Boule­vard and Wagon Wheel Road.

The operation resulted in four arrests for impaired driving, two arrests for driving on a suspended license for DUI, one arrest for reckless driving, and ten citations.

Checkpoint locations are based on a history of crashes and DUI arrests. The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired.

Funding for this Checkpoint and DUI enforcement patrols was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
