San Diego DUI Warrant Sweep in East County Nets 65 Arrests
A San Diego DUI arrest warrant sweep in East County targeting drunk drivers who have been charged with driving under the influence and have not followed up on their court orders or appeared in court.
San Diego police are looking for about 800 people who have been charged with DUI. So far about 65 people have been arrested. “We’re helping along the system by making them accountable,” said Brian Pennings, CHP spokesperson.
A grant targeting San Diego East County DUI drivers along State Route 76 is what made the sweep possible. “State Route 67 was chosen because of the number, the high number, of incidences of DUI related injury and fatal collisions that we’ve had on that corridor,” said California Highway Patrol captain Teresa Sumprer.
You will see 1400 hours of added law enforcement along San Diego's State Route 67 from now until March of 2010 because of the grant that was made.
