15 arrested, none for DUI at Lancaster checkpoint

by The AV Times Staff • June 24, 2019

LANCASTER – No one was arrested for driving under the influence, but 15 people were arrested for other violations at a DUI/ driver’s license checkpoint in Lancaster Friday night and early Saturday morning, authorities said.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Traffic Services Detail  conducted the checkpoint from 6 p.m. Friday, June 21, to 2 a.m. Saturday, June 22, at Sierra Hwy and Lancaster Boulevard, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.

The results of the checkpoint are as follows:

  • 653 vehicles were screened.
  • 13 drivers were cited/arrested for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license.
  • One person was arrested for illegal drugs possession.
  • One person was arrested on “other criminal charges.”
  • 15 citations were issued.
  • Five vehicles were towed.

A representative from Mothers Against Drunk Drivers [MADD] attended the checkpoint in an effort to educate drivers passing through the checkpoint by handing out educational flyers and speaking with the drivers.

Funding for the operation was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will be conducting additional DUI/driver’s license checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols throughout the year as part of an ongoing commitment to lowering deaths and injuries upon streets and highways.

      Lots of parents with their kids at the fair having so much fun. We have never run into drunken fools. You must be hanging out at the beer gardens late at night with your kids.
