CHP planning DUI checkpoint Saturdaynight
The California Highway Patrol will operate a sobrietycheckpoint on Saturday night in the Coachella Valley.
The checkpoint is scheduled to be in operation from 8:00 p.m. until 1:00a.m. at an undisclosed location. It is aimed at reducing the number ofalcohol-related accidents, according to CHP Officer Joe Zagorski.
He said the CHP believes that checkpoints tend to reduce the number ofdrinking drivers on the road “even though arrest totals do not risedramatically.”
