Memorial weekend DUI enforcement
The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a DUI checkpoint on Memorial Day weekend to stop and arrest alcohol and drug-impaired drivers.
Officers say they are increasing patrols throughout Yuma County and will target other areas with a high rate of recurrence for DUI collisions and arrests.
YCSO enforces the state’s 0.08 percent blood alcohol concentration (BAC) law, Administrative Per Se laws (immediate driver license suspension), 0.04 percent BAC law for commercial vehicle drivers and the 0.01 percent BAC limit for drivers under 21 years of age (‘zero-tolerance’).
THE YCSO would like to encourage all citizens to be safe this holiday weekend. If you plan to drink, please use a designated sober driver.
