Police arrested one suspected drunk driver out of 1,225 vehicles that passed through a checkpoint Saturday night in Long Beach.

The checkpoint lasted from 7 p.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday at Pacific Coast Highway and Daisy Avenue, and officers screened 461 vehicles, according to a news release.

In addition to the one DUI arrest, officers cited three drivers for operating a vehicle with a suspended or revoked license. Twenty-two drivers were cited for operating an unlicensed vehicle, and nine were ticketed for unsafe driving, authorities said.

Saturday’s checkpoint and others like it are intended to work as a deterrent for drunk or drugged drivers, according to authorities.

The operation was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety and distributed through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, police said.
