One motorist was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol during a sobriety checkpoint in Chula Vista, according to police.
The checkpoint was set up on North Fourth Avenue between C Street and Brisbane Street from 7 p.m. Saturday until 1 a.m. on Sunday. Of the 1,154 vehicles that passed through the checkpoint, 533 of them were screened, police said.
Nine drivers were given a field sobriety test by officers, but only one was arrested.
