DELANO, Calif. (KGET) — The Delano Police Department will hold a DUI and Driver’s License checkpoint on Saturday at an undisclosed location in Delano.

Drivers caught driving under the influence and charged with a DUI can expect to spend $13,500 after their arrest. This figure includes fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension and other expenses. They would also face possible jail time.
