The Yucca Valley Police Department conducted a DUI/drivers’ license checkpoint Sunday night in Yucca Valley at State Route 62 and Prescott Avenue between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public. During the checkpoint 1,307 vehicles were screened, two cited for driving unlicensed, and one cited for driving with a suspended license. The Yucca Valley Police Department will be conducting additional DUI/Drivers License Checkpoints or DUI saturation Patrols in the near future in furtherance of our ongoing commitment to lowering deaths and injuries upon our streets and highways.
