NORMAN — Norman police stopped 515 vehicles and arrested eight people at a sobriety checkpoint, according to a Norman Police Department press release.
Officers were stationed near the 500 block of E Constitution Street from midnight to 3 a.m. Saturday as part of a national law enforcement campaign called "Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.”
Officer Jennifer Newell said four were arrested on driving under the influence of alcohol complaints, three of them were under the age of 21; two were arrested on aggravated driving under the influence complaints — meaning their blood-alcohol content was at least twice the legal limit of .08 — and one on a complaint of driving under the influence of drugs.
One driver was arrested on complaints of possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of marijuana.
The "Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest” campaign started Aug. 15 and will continue through Sept. 1.
