The Santa Maria Police Department says it is planning a driver's license and DUI checkpoint Sunday somewhere within the city limits. The checkpoint will take place in an area where officers say there have been a significant number of DUI-related checkpoints and DUI arrests.
The checkpoint will start at 6:00p.m. and last until 10:00p.m.
"DUI arrests can be embarrassing and expensive, but they're easy to prevent," said Lieutenant Rico Flores. "If you're drinking, hand your keys over to a designated sober driver, or call a taxi or sober friend for a ride home. Don't risk an arrest ---or worse, a serious injury or even death."
Funding for the checkpoint comes from the California Office of Traffic Safety.
