Although three people were evaluated to see if they were driving under the influence, no DUI arrests were made at a Santa Maria police checkpoint conducted Friday night into early Saturday morning.
The DUI checkpoint was held from 6 p.m. Friday to 1 a.m. Saturday in the 900 block of South Blosser Road.
A total of 945 vehicles passed through the checkpoint, with 457 of those vehicles screened by police.
Two people were cited for allegedly driving without a license, one was cited for allegedly driving on a suspended license, and two drivers were arrested on suspicion of having outstanding misdemeanor warrants. Three vehicles were impounded, two of which were driven by undocumented immigrants, according to police.
Funding for the checkpoint was provided by a grant from the state Office of Traffic Safety.
