Deputies to Step up Patrols to Catch DUI Suspects on Cinco de Mayo
RIVERSIDE (CNS) - Riverside County sheriff's deputies and other peace
officers throughout the region will boost patrols today to catch Cinco de Mayo
celebrants who risk drinking, or drugging, and driving.
Anti-DUI enforcement deployments will be conducted all day Tuesday,
mostly involving saturation patrols in multiple locations.
``Don't put yourself and others on the road at risk by driving
impaired,'' according to a statement released by the sheriff's department. ``If
you're planning to celebrate with a drink or two, leave your keys at home and
designate a sober driver.''
Targeted patrols are scheduled in Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Norco,
Perris, Palm Desert, Temecula and Thermal.
In other locations throughout the county, police officers will be
closely monitoring traffic activity, enforcing a ``zero tolerance'' policy
toward impaired driving, according to public safety officials.
They emphasized party-goers have the option of calling a cab, using
public transit or hailing a ride service like Lyft or Uber.
A misdemeanor DUI conviction in California can result in fines up to
$10,000, jail time and revocation of a driver's license.
Cinco de Mayo -- or the 5th of May -- officially commemorates a
Mexican military victory in the struggle to maintain independence during the
19th century. However, it has been adopted as a general cultural festival in
the U.S.
