16 arrested, 3 for DUI at Lancaster checkpoint

by The AV Times Staff • September 14, 2019

LANCASTER – Three motorists were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and 13 people were arrested for other violations at a DUI/ driver’s license checkpoint conducted in Lancaster Friday night, authorities said.

The checkpoint was conducted from 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13, to 2 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, at Sierra Hwy and Lancaster Boulevard, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.

According to the news release, the results of the checkpoint are as follows:

  • 364 vehicles were screened at the checkpoint.
  • Three drivers were arrested for DUI (alcohol).
  • Two people were arrested for “DUI-related warrants in excess of $129,000”.
  • One person was arrested “on a criminal weapons charge”.
  • Eight drivers were cited/arrested for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license.
  • Two motorists were arrested for driving a vehicle without a required Ignition Inter-Lock Device (IID).
  • Three vehicles were towed.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will be conducting other DUI/driver’s license checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols throughout the year as part of an ongoing commitment to take suspected impaired drivers off streets and highways.

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

    Stop telling the public when a check point is taking place ahead of time. Second the amount of cops used at theses check points I bet would produce more DUI arrest if they patrolled the streets in cars and not stand at one location. I know there were more then three drunks driving that night.

      To make Lancaster great requires more than a few DUI arrests. It would take a complete power flush of the good old boys network of Parris, Gilley, Visco, Mercy, Mahli, Mann, Underwood Jacobs, Crist, and all their various puppets and appointees. Then and only then with the focus be on the residents rather than their own personal bank accounts.
