For the seventh year, the Salinas Police Department will be presenting turkeys to certain drivers who pass through a sobriety checkpoint Tuesday night. The decision on who gets the turkeys is random, and the event has become so popular that police are asking motorists not circle through the checkpoint multiple times in an effort to get the free gift. Police are also keeping the specific location of the DUI checkpoint a secret.

The turkeys are donated by local businesses, the police department and citizens who wish to contribute.

Those suspected of driving under the influence in the Northern California town will be arrested as usual. The Salinas sobriety checkpoint may be the only one that drivers seek out rather than try to avoid.

Did you get arrested for DUI in California?

The daughter of Sen. John Kerry was arrested early Thursday morning for driving under the influence in Los Angeles. Alexandra Forbes Kerry was stopped in the Hollywood area around 12:40 am for a traffic violation. She refused to submit to a preliminary breath test and, after reportedly failing a field sobriety test and appearing to be under the influence of an intoxicant, was booked on suspicion of CA DUI. At the LAPD station she did submit to a breath test and registered a blood alcohol content of .06%. Under California DUI law, a motorist can be charged with DUI with a BAC under the legal limit of .08% if the officer feels the vehicle is being operated unsafely.

Kerry posted $5000 bond and was released around 5:30 am. The Los Angeles City Attorney is reviewing the case but it is suspected that formal charges will not be pursued.
