13 arrested, one for DUI at Palmdale checkpoint

by The AV Times Staff • September 9, 2019

PALMDALE – One motorist was arrested for driving under the influence  of marijuana, and 12 people were arrested for license violations at a DUI/ driver’s license checkpoint in Palmdale this past weekend, authorities said.

The checkpoint was conducted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department from 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, to 2 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, in the eastbound lanes of Avenue S at 20th Street East, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

The results of the checkpoint are as follows:

  • One person was arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana.
  • 12 drivers were cited/arrested for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license.
  • Two vehicles were towed.

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

Funding for these operations is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

    This is interesting because a person can likely perform the entire road side sobriety test perfectly, while standing on their hands, 10 minutes after smoking. But, the magic machine says you are guilty. Ain’t no way the government was going to let the DUI cash machine falter.
