Chino Hills, Calif. – On July 2, 2022, during a July 4th Weekend Enforcement Opertaion, the Chino Hills Police/Sheriff’s Department arrested two drivers on suspicion of DUI and issued 18 traffic citations for various California vehicle code violations.
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 another DUI enforcement patrol this 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.
