ORIGINAL POST, OCT. 30, 6:05 A.M.: Ghouls, zombies and other assorted freaks are one thing but … hey, want to see something really scary? It's the beginning of this Halloween Eve press release …
“The Costa Mesa Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint on Friday, October 30th at an undisclosed location within the city between the hours of 8 p.m. and 3 a.m.”
