Fourth of July weekend was busy for Mammoth Police Officers. By far, the majority of people having fun on the Fourth of July carried on without getting into trouble, but sometimes the fun veered out of hand.

Of the 10 people arrested over the weekend 9 were arrested for incidents that involved alcohol. A 29 year old Mammoth resident was arrested for Driving Under the Influence after officers say that they saw the vehicle swerve into the oncoming lane of traffic. This man had a blood alcohol content of .20%.

After the parade, police arrested a 23 year old June Lake resident for DUI after the suspects vehicle had crashed into the front yard of a home on Pinecrest Ave. The driver suffered minor injuries and police say that, thankfully, no pedestrians were hurt.
