The Fairfax County Police will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint Saturday Friday night in the Mount Vernon police district, which covers most of the Richmond Highway corridor.

The checkpoint will run from 11:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. at an undisclosed location.

The last police checkpoint held in the Mount Vernon district was on May 7 near the intersection of Richmond Highway and Dawn Drive (in front of Target). No arrests for DUI were made that night, but seven summonses were issued.
