Task Force Operation Nets Four San Diego DUI Arrests
On Friday Jun. 5th, the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, in conjunction with officers from local police forces and the California Highway Patrol, executed a sustained eight-hour crackdown on drunken driving. The operation spanned from 7:00 p.m. Friday to 3:00 a.m. Saturday morning and took place in Oceanside, Coronado, and San Diego. Police made four San Diego DUI arrests in total.
Operational forces established both a checkpoint and a roving patrol. The checkpoint was located near Fallbrook Airpark on Sterling Bridge Drive. Over 700 cars and trucks passed through it; police closely screened nearly 200 of these vehicles and subjected 32 to a secondary inspection. In addition to arresting to two San Diegans for DUI, officers at the checkpoint also issued 19 citations and 16 vehicle-impound orders. The separate roving patrol stopped 30 cars and trucks around the Fallbrook region. Offices tagged two drivers with DUI, handed out 12 citations, and impounded seven vehicles.
The lieutenant in charge of the task force deemed the operation a huge success. He boasted that similar operations in and around the Fallbrook area would be scheduled in the near-term. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration provided indirect funding for the checkpoint operation.
