Two people were arrested and eight were cited during a saturation patrol in Lake Elsinore on Friday.

The patrol took place throughout the city from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., said Sgt. Marc Cloutier of the Lake Elsinore Police Department.

One person was arrested for drunken driving and the other was arrested on a pre-existing warrant. Eight others were cited for driving without a license or on suspended licenses. Each of the suspects’ vehicles were towed, many for 30-day impounds.

The California Office of Traffic Safety paid for the patrol through a grant aiming to reduce the number of drunken drivers, Cloutier said.

Within the last two years, collisions involving drunken drivers have killed nine people and injured 13 in the city of Lake Elsinore, he said.
