9 Arrested In Temecula For Outstanding DUI Warrants: Sheriff

TEMECULA, CA — Nine people in Temecula with outstanding driving under the influence warrants were arrested on Wednesday, authorities said.

The subjects, who were previously arrested on DUI charges, were taken into custody again on suspicion of either failing to appear in court or violating court-ordered probation, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

Three of the suspects were also wanted on other criminal charges, police said.

“We don’t want subjects re-offending and endangering the public,” Deputy Opice said in news release. “The goal is also to make sure they are receiving the help and guidance they need to keep them from offending in the future.”

The people re-arrested were not named by the department and no other information was immediately available.

Funding for the sweep was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the department said.
