Diamond Bar, Calif. – 1 driver arrested for being in possession of narcotics. 1 driver arrested for driving without a valid driver’s license. 1 driver arrested for an outstanding warrant for driving of a suspended license while conducting a DUI checkpoint on 12/04/2020. 1 vehicle was towed.
The checkpoint was held at Diamond Bar Bl. / Highland Valley Rd., from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.
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.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will continue to hold DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoints throughout the year.
Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
