Fourteen motorists were arrested on suspicion of driving under the
influence at a sobriety checkpoint set up Friday by the Costa Mesa
Police Department, officials said.
Nearly 4,000 motorists drove through the checkpoint on the
northbound side of Newport Boulevard at Flower Street, and police
stopped and screened 385 drivers.
Friday’s checkpoint was conducted in collaboration with the
California Highway Patrol and volunteers from Mothers Against Drunk
Driving.
On Dec. 12, 10 DUI enforcement teams patrolled the city as part of
a special operation and arrested 12 drivers. This was a joint effort
by Costa Mesa and CHP officers.
A second sobriety checkpoint is scheduled for Jan. 3 on West 19th
