(FOX40.COM) — Law enforcement officials in Lodi will soon be in search of drivers who choose to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

On May 24, the Lodi Police Department said it will conduct a DUI checkpoint from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m.

“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” said Sergeant Dan Bristow. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.”

The location of the checkpoint is undisclosed but LPD said the DUI checkpoint is determined based on data showing incidents of impaired driving-related crashes.

“Impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving,” LPD said. “While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.”

Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, and a suspended license.
