The Arroyo Grande Police Department will be on patrol for drivers under the influence this weekend.

Drivers caught driving impaired will face first-time DUI penalties of $13,500 and a suspended license, according to the release.
According to the release, impaired driving can be caused by consuming alcohol, medical and medicinal marijuana and some prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
