Four drivers were arrested and four others cited during a Redlands Police DUI checkpoint Friday, May 23.

A total of 456 vehicles passed through the checkpoint on Citrus Avenue, east of Church street, between 6 p.m. Friday to 1 a.m. Saturday.

One driver was arrested for driving under the influence. Another was arrested on a DUI warrant. Two other drivers were arrested, one for resisting an officer and the second for possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

Three drivers were cited for driving without a license and another for driving on a suspended license. One vehicle was impounded.
