and Calixto were his passengers. The women lived in different residences in Vista; they were also in the country illegally. Zitlapopoca had been deported to Mexico in 2004. Two other men accused of having ties to the prostitution ring pleaded guilty in November to harboring illegal immigrants for the purposes of prostitution, court records state. They each face up to 10 years in prison and are expected to be sentenced in April with Zitlapopoca.
season in San Diego County, Rothlein said. While Rothlein couldn’t pinpoint what caused the spike this year, he said he didn’t think it had to do with an increased presence by law enforcement because the grants being used to fund DUI operations were the same as last year. “The disturbing thing is that regardless of all the DUI awareness, DUI education, all those different programs, we’re still having really, really high numbers,” Rothlein said. During the New Year’s weekend, from Dec. 31 to Jan. 3, sheriff’s deputies
made seven arrests — five in Encinitas and two in Solana Beach — in North County coast cities compared to six last year during the same 2008-2009 holiday period, said Jeffrey Vandersip, a crime analyst with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. Across town, Carlsbad police reported one arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence for the holiday weekend, which was the same as the previous year, spokeswoman Lynn Diamond said. Statewide, over this New Year’s holiday weekend, CHP officers made 1,388 DUI arrests, down from 1,456 arrests last year. Authorities reported 36 traffic deaths statewide over
the New Year’s weekend. The new year also brings in a law that will place stiffer penalties on repeat DUI offenders. Starting July 1, a second DUI conviction will result in the suspension of the defendant’s license for 90 days before they can get a restricted license and six months for a third conviction. Offenders will also be required to install and maintain an ignition interlock device, or IID, in their vehicle. An IID is wired to a vehicle’s ignition and requires a breath sample before the engine will start and periodically as the person drives.
