Riverside County Reports 365 Holiday DUI Arrests
The Riverside County Sheriff's Office says it arrested more than 365 drivers suspected of DUI in a year-end crackdown that began December 12. The countywide effort featured extra patrol enforcement and sobriety checkpoints. Thirty law enforcement agencies within the county participated in the campaign. Final arrest figures are not yet available. The 2008 enforcement effort was funded by a $700,000 grant, which will pay for DUI enforcement in Riverside County through January 2011.
County officials say that there were three DUI-related fatalities during the holiday campaign. Two of the three fatal accidents involved motorcycles, while the third accident occurred when a drunk driver struck a bicyclist, who died at the scene.
