DUI Checkpoint To Be Held In Claremont On Oct. 23

CLAREMONT, CA — A DUI checkpoint will be staged at an undisclosed location in Claremont on Oct. 23, police said.

Motorists will be screened for signs of impaired driving during a DUI checkpoint operation conducted from 6 p.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday. Officers will also ensure that drivers are wearing seatbelts and possess valid driver licenses, according to the Claremont Police Department.
