The Highway Patrol got an early start on weekend arrests. In roughly a nine hour stretch that began at five o’clock Friday evening, the patrol reported seven arrests in the lake area. That included five people charged with driving while intoxicated. One of those cases involved dwi with a minor in the vehicle. Three of the arrests took place in Miller County, with the other four coming in Camden County. Only three of the people arrested had lake area addresses – one each from Eldon, Linn Creek, and Iberia.
