Pennsylvania State Police at Bethlehem said Monday that a sobriety checkpoint that was previously announced for the Memorial Day weekend netted two DUI arrests.
In a news release, police said the checkpoint was held from 10 p.m. Friday until 3 a.m. Saturday on Race Street in the area of Cascade Drive, Hanover Township, Lehigh County.
During the five-hour checkpoint, police made contact with 368 motorists, and also issued two citations and five warnings, the news release indicated.
“The goal of a sobriety checkpoint is to reduce the number of alcohol and drug-related fatal and serious crashes, and to reduce the number of DUI drivers on Pennsylvania’s highways,” police said.
