Two men were arrested and charged with DWIs at the same
intersection early Sunday morning, the El Paso County Sheriff's
Office reported.  At about 2 a.m., deputies patrolling the Upper
Valley were dispatched to Westway and North Desert Boulevard on
a call about a possible drunk driver.  Upon arrival, deputies
met with witnesses who followed the suspect to the intersection.
Deputies then found the driver, identified as Ricardo Arellano,
23, asleep at the wheel. Deputies also received information that
Arellano was allegedly involved in a hit and run earlier
reported to the El Paso Police Department.  At the same time,
deputies also arrested Rodrigo A. Hernandez, 55, when he arrived
at the intersection and was recognized by the same witnesses as
having stumbled out of a vehicle and then later driving off.
Further investigation revealed that Hernandez had a blood
alcohol concentration of three times the legal limit.
Arellano's bond was set at $600, while Hernandez's was set at
$750.
