2 Arrested In Labor Day Weekend DUI Patrol In Burlingame

BURLINGAME, CA — Two motorists were arrested Saturday for suspected DUI-related charges in Burlingame as part of the Burlingame Police Department's weekend DUI-crackdown.

The arrests of two men, 29 and 55 years old, were made on the 500 block of Airport Boulevard and at Old Bayshore Boulevard and Stanton Road, police said.

The patrol operation began 6 p.m. Saturday and ran through 2 a.m. on Sunday, funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

"While the state’s stay-at-home order is limiting how often people are out, the Burlingame Police Department is committed to keeping the public safe when they do need to run essential errands," the agency said.

Drivers charged with DUI can face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license, police said, adding that impaired driving is not just from alcohol and may be caused by some prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs or marijuna use.
