Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor DIAMOND BAR - Deputies with the Sheriff’s Traffic Services Detail plan a DUI/driver license checkpoint between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. August 10. The checkpoint will be held in an undisclosed area of town. The location is based on collision statistics and the frequency of DUI arrests, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said. Authorities want to remind drivers that “DUI just doesn’t mean booze,” and that prescription drugs (especially those with a driving or machinery warning label) and marijuana can also impair drivers.
Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
