Police to check drivers Wednesday
Costa Mesa police will be conducting a checkpoint Wednesday on Wilson Street.
From 6 p.m. to midnight Wednesday, police will be stationed on westbound Wilson Street at Pomona Avenue.
In addition to nabbing people driving under the influence, police said the checkpoint is meant to boost awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving.
Police arrested four people during an Aug. 14 checkpoint on Newport Boulevard and gave 20 people tickets. Drivers are also screened for various vehicle code violations, such as not wearing seat belts or not having a valid driver’s license.
The department is looking for the public’s help in reporting drunk drivers by calling 911.
Wednesday’s checkpoint is funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety.
