University of Florida's first DUI checkpoint - Gainesville.com

"The University of Florida's first DUI checkpoint on campus ended early Friday after police had arrested one person and issued 29 citations.

Police issued drivers a variety of citations, including for not having their car registration or proof of insurance, said UF Police Capt. Charles McCray.

A 27-year-old Gainesville man was stopped for driving under the influence and taken to the jail. A breath test gave readings of .111 and .105. In Florida, the legal limit for driving is 0.08.

DUI arrests on campus have been increasing since May of this year with more aggressive enforcement of traffic violations, according to University Police.

The check was held for five hours at Gale Lemerand Drive south of Museum Road next to the large commuter lot."
