Three persons were arrested during a DUI checkpoint in Fontana on Aug. 27, according to the Fontana Police Department.
One person was arrested for DUI (alcohol) and two additional individuals were arrested due to their outstanding warrants.
The checkpoint was held at Foothill Boulevard and Hemlock Avenue from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. This is the same vicinity where two deaths occurred during the previous week.
Eighteen drivers were cited for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license, and a total of 1,248 vehicles were contacted.
DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on reported incidents of impaired driving-related crashes. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints is to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off roads, police said.
Additional checkpoints will be held later this year.
Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
