*By Daily Press staff*

Attention all drunk drivers: The cops will be out in full force tonight.

Throughout the evening on Saturday, May 13, the Santa Monica Police Department will be stopping cars and conducting a “sobriety checkpoint” in the 2800 block of Wilshire Boulevard. The checkpoint is in accordance with the California Office of Traffic Safety Grant. The grant entitled, “You Drink & Drive. You Lose,” is part of a national campaign to reduce the number of people killed or injured in alcohol-related crashes.
