The Claremont Police Department will conduct a sobriety checkpoint at an undisclosed location in town. The checkpoint will be held this Saturday beginning at 6 p.m. and ending at 2 a.m.
All drivers passing through the checkpoint will be stopped long enough to determine that the drivers are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. All drivers will be check to ensure they are wearing their seat belts and have valid driver licenses.
Let's hope nothing goes haywire this time around, unlike what happened back at a May 22 DUI checkpoint ...
A 53-year-old North Hollywood resident nearly killed himself at a police checkpoint located at the intersection of Indian Hill Boulevard-Dartmouth Avenue.
At approximately 8:05 p.m., the man was diverted into a 2nd lane when police discovered he was driving on a suspended license and had a warrant out for his arrest. While in the vehicle, the 53-year-old pulled out a knife and started slashing his throat, causing multiple lacerations in his neck.
Officers attempted to get the man to stop but he refused. Police then used a taser on the man to get the knife away.
Paramedics arrived shortly after police seized the knife and transferred the man to Pomona Valley Hospital, where he was diagnosed in serious condition due to the loss of blood. After being treated and undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, the man was later released.
Police later issued the man a citation for the warrant and his suspended driver’s license.
