13 Arrested at Mission Bay DUI Checkpoint

SDPD arrested 13 people during a DUI checkpoint in the 4200 block of Mission Bay Drive.

Between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. Friday night 744 drivers were screened by officers, and 14 drivers were detained to evaluate their sobriety further.

β€œThe message is simple, β€˜Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’. Drinking alcohol and driving do not mix. If you plan to consume alcohol, you should also plan not to get behind the wheel of a vehicle or ride a motorcycle,” said Officer Mark McCullough.

The checkpoint was made possible by a California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) β€˜STEP Grant.’

The national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign is led by OTS and NHTSA with the California Avoid DUI Task Force Campaign. It combines high-visibility enforcement and heightened public awareness through publicity.
