Sutter County, tucked in the Sacramento Valley, is made up of smaller towns like Yuba City, Live Oak, and Sutter itself. Even though it’s mostly rural, it sees plenty of vehicle traffic from Highway 99, Highway 20, and surrounding farmlands. Weekends, festivals, and holiday travel periods can bring in a big wave of cars—and that’s when DUI checkpoints become especially important.
Law enforcement here doesn’t play around when it comes to impaired driving. Whether it’s alcohol, cannabis, or prescription drugs—if you’re not sober, you shouldn’t be driving.
