Citrus Heights police increasing DUI enforcement for 4th of July weekend

Sentinel staff report–
Citrus Heights police are warning drivers to avoid driving drunk during holiday festivities this weekend and are increasing DUI enforcement through Sunday, July 7.

In a news release, police said seven people were killed and 73 were injured in alcohol-related crashes on July 4th last year.

“Driving with just a buzz doesn’t cut it,” said Citrus Heights Police Sgt. Shaun Gualco in his department’s statement to news media. “With the rise in ride-share options, there really is no excuse for driving impaired.”

Police said increased enforcement began on Wednesday and will continue through Sunday.
