Six suspected drunken drivers were arrested at or near a checkpoint in University Heights that wrapped up early Saturday.

Of the 584 motorists that passed through the checkpoint in the 2100 block of El Cajon Boulevard near Alabama Street between 11 p.m. Friday and 3 a.m. Saturday, 525 were screened by officers, San Diego Police Officer Mark McCullough said. Seven of the vehicles were impounded.

The checkpoint was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety.
