One driver arrested and 22 traffic citations were issued during DUI operation
Chino Hills, Calif. – Chino Hills Police/Sheriff’s Department arrested one driver and cited 22 drivers while conducting DUI patrols from December 31st to January 1st.
Chino Hills Police/Sheriff’s Department is committed to keeping the public safe when they are out.
“Driving under the influence is dangerous, illegal and irresponsible,” Deputy S. Chau said. “Driving impaired is never excusable.”
Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.
Chino Hills Police/Sheriff’s Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving or “operating heavy machinery,” which includes driving a car. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.
Chino Hills Police/Sheriff’s Department will be holding a series of DUI enforcement patrols throughout the year to keep our roadways safe.
Funding for this DUI Patrol was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
