Riverside County Sheriff's Lake Elsinore Station in California to Conduct DUI Patrols on November 12: First-Time DUI Averages 13,500 Dollars in Fines and Penalties with a Suspended License
Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, California — The Riverside County Sheriff's Office, Lake Elsinore Station, said it will be out on November 12, 2026, looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence.
Deputy Keyser said impaired driving is preventable and is a choice, and that people who have been drinking or have taken drugs that impair should make the right choice by finding a sober driver or alternate transportation.
The sheriff's office reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving, and people should always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal, the release said.
Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with a first-time DUI face an average of 13,500 dollars in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license, according to the release.
Funding for the program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The release listed Sergeant Joel Holland as reporting supervisor and was posted on November 11 on the Riverside County Sheriff's Office press release page.
