The checkpoint was conducted by the department’s Traffic Bureau on San Fernando Boulevard between Walnut Avenue and Delaware Road from 7 p.m. to midnight.
One driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Officers also issued five citations to motorists driving without a valid license and five citations for vehicle equipment violations. One driver was given a field sobriety test.
