Saturday 9/16/23 DUI Saturation Patrol

The Santa Maria Police Department arrested 4 drivers on suspicion of DUI while conducting a DUI Saturation Patrol, September 16, 2023 during the evening hours.

We are committed to taking impaired drivers off the road as driving under the influence is not only dangerous, but also has major consequences.

Four additional drivers were cited for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license, no drivers were arrested for other criminal charges.

Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

The Santa Maria Police Department will hold additional DUI Saturation Patrols in the upcoming months. Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
