GGPD made 13 DUI arrests at checkpoints (Shutterstock).

You might not think that the weekend leading up to Labor Day would especially be a time for drinking and driving, but checkpoints in Garden Grove resulted in a significant haul of arrests, tows and tickets.

The Garden Grove Police Department conducted checkpoints on Friday and Saturday evenings (and into the early hours of the following days) looking at over more than 1,900 vehicles.

During that time, police made 13 arrests for driving under the influence (of alcohol and/or drugs). Sixteen cars were towed and impounded and 30 tickets were written for various vehicle code violations.

Also, officers visited neighborhood as restaurants and bars to educate the community on the dangers of impaired driving and to test their knowledge by guessing their own blood alcohol content after consuming some liquor.
