Our Newport Beach DUI Lawyers were told that three people were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol during a Saturday night police checkpoint, authorities said.
During the five-hour long checkpoint, police stopped 729 vehicles and conducted 16 field sobriety tests on the field, according to a statement released by the Laguna Beach Police.
More than 2,163 vehicles passed though the checkpoint, which was stationed on Pacific Coast Highway, near Vista Del Sol, meaning that the rate of capture for drivers under the influence is 0.0013%
According to the police statement, all drivers who were stopped were also given a brochure about the hazards of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Six drivers were also found to be unlicensed, and five additional drivers were issued citations for not carrying their license.
Four vehicles were also towed from the checkpoint, according to the police statement.
But officers at the checkpoint were not the only ones to have spotted drunk drivers Saturday night, according to police.
Outside of the checkpoint, five additional drivers were stopped and arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
