Sheriff's Department to up DUI enforcement on Super Bowl Sunday

SAN DIEGO - San Diego County sheriff's deputies are planning to increase impaired driving enforcement over Super Bowl weekend.

The sheriff's department will begin targeting drunk and drugged driving with extra patrols beginning at 3 p.m. Sunday and lasting through 5 a.m. Monday.

A DUI checkpoint is also planned in Vista from 8 p.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday, deputies said.

The department reminded drivers that impaired driving can refer to driving under the influence of marijuana and prescription drugs, not just alcohol.

"Impaired driving can have tragic consequences," said Sheriff Bill Gore. "...
