23 Arrests Made at Friday's Checkpoint, 1 for DUI

When Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies set up a DUI checkpoint, the net they cast catches a lot more than just suspected DUIs.

Friday's checkpoint resulted in one arrest for a DUI, but many more for driving without a license or a suspended license, and even one for carrying a concealed weapon. They also found two people who had warrants out for their arrest.

Several others were cited for drinking alcohol from open containers.

Between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. Friday, personnel from the Malibu/Lost Hills Station conducted a DUI/driver's licenseo checkpoint at Pacific Coast Hightway at Webb Way. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public, according to an LASD statement.

Here are the stats for Friday night's setup:

1758 vehicles through the checkpoint 
1709 drivers checked at the checkpoint
