\n
Yolo County\’s “Avoid the 8” DUI task force will conduct a sobriety and driver\’s-license checkpoint tonight in the city of Davis.

The exact location of the checkpoint, which will run from 7 p.m. today to 3 a.m. Friday, is expected to be released later today.

In addition to the checkpoint, the task force will deploy extra DUI saturation patrols Friday night in the cities of Woodland and West Sacramento. Saturday night will bring more patrols in the city of Winters and in unincorporated Yolo County.
