The San Diego County Sheriff's Department will be out in force this holiday weekend with extra patrols and DUI checkpoints across the county. “Celebrate the festivities with your family, not the in the jail or hospital,” the Sheriff urges. “Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a crime. You will be arrested. Remember, 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.' We will be watching.”
