It was a busy day for U. S. Border Patrol agents when they seized more than 40 pounds of cocaine, valued at over $1 million at their checkpoint on Highway 95 in Yuma. A canine team alerted Border Patrol officers that a suspicious vehicle needed to be inspected – a hidden compartment was found under the backseat.
The drugs were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration for processing. If you suspect someone is transporting drugs, the Yuma Sector Border Patrol asks that you contact them at 1-866-999-8727. If you are caught carrying drugs, no matter how much, I would suggest you contact an experienced Criminal Law attorney to advise you of your rights. Drug possession carries severe consequences.

Because of the recent long Memorial Day holiday, the Blythe Police Department conducted a DUI checkpoint to reduce alcohol-related vehicle accidents. The purpose of the checkpoint is to identify drunk drivers and get them off the road. Blythe has not had any fatalities this year and they would like to keep it that way.
The Blythe Police Department believes that by enforcing awareness of the consequences of drinking and driving, they can encourage sober designated drivers. Any driver found to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be arrested.
If you have been pulled over and arrested for drunk driving, I urge you to contact an experienced Criminal Law attorney who is familiar with California DUI laws.
