Four DUI Drivers Arrested During Super Bowl Sunday DUI Checkpoint And Saturation Patrols

News Release

On February 13, 2022, between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., Oxnard officers held a DUI Checkpoint on Oxnard Blvd. south of Wagon Wheel Road.  Specially trained officers also conducted a citywide DUI enforcement saturation. 

The checkpoint and DUI saturation patrols resulted in four DUI alcohol arrests and 36 traffic citations.  In addition, officers conducted a traffic stop in the 400 block of W. Esplanade Drive and contacted the driver identified as a 27-year-old male of Oxnard.  During the traffic stop, officers discovered that the driver was in possession of a loaded .380 handgun.  As a result, the driver was arrested for various felony firearm charges related to the possession of a loaded and concealed firearm.  

Checkpoint locations and DUI saturation patrols are based on a history of crashes and DUI arrests. The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests, but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired.

Funding for this checkpoint and DUI enforcement operations was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
