106 DUI suspects arrested in Fresno, Madera counties

The “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign led to the arrest of 106 impaired drivers in Fresno and Madera counties during the Labor Day holiday period, AVOID the 21 spokesperson Alfreda Sebasto announced Tuesday.

Saturation patrols and DUI and driver’s license checkpoints were increased during the campaign from Aug. 19 to Sept. 5.

Police, sheriff and CHP partnered with AVOID the 21, and law enforcement has plans for more checkpoints and patrols during Halloween and during December, Sebasto said.
