Oakdale police set DUI checkpoints

Police will be looking for drunken drivers Saturday night at a sobriety checkpoint at an undisclosed location in Oakdale.

The checkpoint is part of a law enforcement effort to reduce deaths and injuries caused by alcohol-related crashes, Oakdale police said.

The checkpoint also is an effort to educate the public on the dangers of driving under the influence.

Oakdale police also will look for those driving without a valid license at the checkpoints, which are funded by the state Office of Traffic Safety.
