DUI Checkpoint Near Campus Tonight

Days after alcohol related incidents prompted the university to issue party restrictions on The Row, the Los Angeles Police Department is holding a checkpoint Thursday night between Figueroa and 33rd Street.

From 6 p.m. until midnight, police will conduct drunk driving tests and check driver's licenses.

According to a statement released by the LAPD, "The purpose of this checkpoint is two-fold. First, to educate the public to not drink and drive. And second, to arrest intoxicated drivers."

"The reason why we are doing this checkpoint on Figueroa is because there is a significant number of DUI's in that area," according to the department's statement.
