Marin Police Arrest 33 Suspected of Drunken Driving, Holiday Crackdown Continues
Two more DUI checkpoints are planned for San Rafael before the new year.
The first 10 days of local law enforcement's crackdown on drunken driving resulted in 33 DUI arrests, with two more checkpoints scheduled for the upcoming week, according to San Rafael Police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher.
From Dec. 14 to 23, officers arrested 33 individuals for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and three more for outstanding DUI warrants, Rohrbacher said.
Stormy weather caused one checkpoint to be canceled over the holiday weekend, but units from San Rafael, Novato and Mill Valley were out in saturation patrols.
