Two DUI Drivers Arrested at the Oxnard DUI Checkpoint
Oxnard, Ca. – 165 drivers were screened while driving through a DUI checkpoint on November 12, 2021. The checkpoint was held at Rose Avenue south of Gonzales Road from 7:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
Eleven drivers were cited for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license. Two drivers were arrested for DUI-drug related charges and two drivers were arrested for misdemeanor or felony warrants.
Checkpoint locations are based on a history of crashes and DUI arrests. The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests, but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired.
As businesses continue to reopen, including bars and restaurants, impaired driving remains a top traffic safety concern. Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
