The checkpoint was conducted from 11 p.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday by officers from the San Diego Police Department Traffic Division, according to Officer John Perdue of the SDPD.
Of the 1,765 vehicles that went through the checkpoint at 1400 G Street, 526 vehicles were screened, Perdue said. Fifteen drivers were evaluated, he said.
Two drivers were cited for operating an unlicensed vehicle or driving with a suspended or revoked license, the officer said. Eight vehicles were impounded.
The police department will conduct another checkpoint or saturation patrol Sunday, Perdue said.
