PALMDALE – Three people were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and 27 unlicensed drivers were arrested at a DUI/ driver’s license checkpoint in Palmdale Friday night and early Saturday morning, authorities said.

The checkpoint was conducted in the westbound lanes of Palmdale Boulevard at 17th Street East, between the hours of 6 p.m. Friday, April 20, and 2 a.m. Saturday, April 21, according to a news release from the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station.

The results of the checkpoint are as follows:

* 1248 vehicles traveled through the checkpoint.
