DUI Checkpoints in Oxnard This Weekend

March 6, 2015 - The Oxnard police will be conducting DUI checkpoints on Saturday from 8:00 pm to 3:00 am Sunday at various locations throughout the city. Suspected drivers under the influence will most likely be administered field sobriety tests, as well as tested for Blood Alcohol Content.

The police will be looking for signs of impairment, both from alcohol and drugs. If charged, an Oxnard DUI carries much stiffer penalties and fines than from a DUI in Los Angeles County.

Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the Oxnard Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, authorities said.
