Ten people were arrested on suspicion of drunken driving at two DUI checkpoints in Visalia Friday and Saturday nights.

On the first night, seven people were arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. On the second night, there were three arrests.

Fifteen field sobriety tests were administered on Friday night, 19 vehicles were towed and 17 tickets were issued to unlicensed drivers or those driving on a suspended license.

On Saturday, the Visalia Police Department administered six field sobriety tests, towed 24 vehicles and cited 25 drivers for being without a license or driving on a suspended license.

Federal highway grant funded checkpoint

The checkpoint was funded through a grant from the National Highway Safety Administration.

More than a dozen citations were issued for other offenses.

The program is designed to reduce the number of people killed or injured in drunken-driving accidents as well as to educate the public on the dangers of impaired driving.
