Concord Police arrested one driver on suspicion of DUI while conducting a DUI enforcement patrol on Monday.
Drivers charged with DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as
a suspended license.
Concord Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving.
Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving or operating heavy machinery, which includes driving a car. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.
Concord Police Department will be holding a series of DUI enforcement patrols throughout the year to keep our roadways safe.
Funding for this DUI Patrol was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic
Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
