DUI Checkpoint Set for Friday

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will hold a DUI checkpoint this week in Malibu.

The checkpoint will be held on Friday, April 19 at an undisclosed location within the city limits of Malibu between the hours of 7:30 p.m. and 3:30 a.m. according to the Lost Hills/Malibu Sheriff's Station.

Deputies will be checking drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment.

"Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have claimed two lives and resulted in 22 injury crashes harming 28 of our friends and neighbors,” sheriff's Sgt. Philip Brooks said.

Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety to the city of Malibu, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
