A man who had been drinking in San Luis Obispo and was trying to get home to Santa Barbara on back roads was stopped for speeding by Avoid the 12 DUI task force members and arrested for DUI last night, May 5.

He was one of three in handcuffs after officers and deputies stopped 22 cars in evening patrols around Guadalupe and Orcutt, said Sheriff’s Deputy Win Smith, campaign coordinator.
