Irving Police Officers were hard at work during this week's Saturation Saturday initiative, aimed at ensuring safety on the roads.
Saturation Saturday was first launched in Missouri in 2016 and is now a MADD campaign. It is a night of increased law enforcement patrols and sobriety checkpoints designed to reduce incidents of drunk or drugged driving.
The night saw a total of 72 traffic stops and responses to four major accidents. Officers made five DWI arrests and arrested one individual for possession of drug paraphernalia. Here are the details on some of the arrests:
