Police Checkpoint Leads to Arrests for DUI in Las Vegas

Weekend effort targets drunk driving in Southern Nevada along Vegas Strip.

Law enforcement agencies in Southern Nevada combined for a crackdown on drunk driving in Las Vegas. The Nevada State Patrol and the Las Vegas Police Department set up an eight-hour sobriety checkpoint just west of the Las Vegas Strip. More than 4,700 vehicles were checked, and 11 motorists were charged with driving under the influence in Nevada.

The checkpoint was conducted between 7:00 pm Saturday and 3:00 am Sunday near the intersection of Sahara Avenue and Valley View Boulevard. The effort was funded in part by a grant from the Nevada Department of Public Safety and was coordinated through the National Highway Safety Administration.
