Riverside County Sheriff's Department to Hold DUI Checkpoint in Jurupa Valley

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department announced Monday that the Jurupa Valley Station will conduct an upcoming DUI checkpoint at an undisclosed location within the city.

The checkpoint will be overnight, starting on Friday at 8 p.m., at a location with notable data patterns of impaired driving-related crashes, according to the department.

"Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk," Sgt. Ignacio Robles said in a statement. "Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improves traffic safety."

Impaired driving includes driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana and some prescription medication and over-the-counter drugs.

A first-time DUI charge could cost drivers about $13,500 in fines and penalties, according to police. Impaired drivers could also have their license suspended.
