SOUTH PASADENA — Police plan to hold a driver’s license and sobriety checkpoint later this month, officials said.

The checkpoint is to take place from 8 p.m. Aug. 24 to about 2:30 a.m. the following morning at an undisclosed spot in the city, South Pasadena police Sgt. Robert Bartle said.

At the department’s last checkpoint last month, three motorists were arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, the sergeant added.

Funding for the checkpoint is being provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
