Sobriety Checkpoint Results
In Mount Vernon Police District

            Fairfax County police officers from around the county conducted a sobriety checkpoint to deter and apprehend intoxicated drivers on Saturday, May 10 from 11 p.m. until 11:45 p.m.  All motorists were stopped and drivers were checked to assure that their abilities to drive had not been impaired by alcohol or drugs. 

            Approximately 233 motorists were stopped on Lockheed Boulevard near the intersection of Fairchild Drive. One arrest was made for DWI. One person was charged with possession of a false identification card. Two traffic summonses were issued for no operator’s license.

            Eight officers and four auxiliary police officers participated in the checkpoint.

            The time of the checkpoint was shortened due to police response to a homicide in the Mount Vernon Police District ( http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/police/news-releases/2008/05110800policeinvestigatehomicideinpenndaw.htm
