After DUI checkpoint leads to 23 arrests, enforcement continues in the valley

On Sunday, a DUI enforcement checkpoint in the west valley led to nearly 2 dozen arrests. Between 5:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., there were 23 DUI's, 3 felony child endangerment arrests, and one felony possession of ecstasy arrest, according to NHP. "We got one within 16 minutes of being out there, and 22 throughout the night," Andrew Bennett said. "Our goal is zero. Zero fatalities, zero DUI's." Bennett is with the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety. He explained that DUI checkpoints serve a dual purpose, in stopping the impaired drivers already out on the road, and dissuading others from getting behind the wheel. Story: http://bit.ly/2MQTIAE
