Staff Reports  

Chino – Chino Police Department conducted a DUI checkpoint June 10 from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. on the 12300 block of Mountain Avenue.

Out of the 870 vehicles to drive through, 2 arrests were made for DUI, 12 citations for driving while suspended/unlicensed, 6 vehicles were towed, and 6 other citations were given.

Chino PD remains committed to keep drunk drivers off the street and also encourages people to look for alternate ways of transportation if they know they will be drinking.

From a recent article in http://www.quitalcohol.com, millions of people worldwide drive after drinking. Many say “What’s the harm, I got home safely and no one was hurt?”  Just because you made it home without an accident does not mean that you’ve made a right decision. When putting those keys in the ignition and driving away after drinking you are not only putting your life at risk but also risking the lives of all those you come across while driving.

Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the Office of Traffic Safety through the National Safety Administration.
