BRIDGETON- A weekend checkpoint set up to test sobriety caught more than drunken drivers. Officers also found cocaine and marijuana and made at least 15 drug charges.

The Bridgeton Police Department was the host for the multi-agency sobriety checkpoint, which was held Friday night and early Saturday morning near the intersection of U.S. 17 and N.C. 55. Numbers were still being tallied Saturday, but more than 100 citations were issued during the four-hour checkpoint.

"It was very successful," said Deputy Chief Chip Hughes. "I don't think any of us expected that many drugs. We made at least 15 drug charges, and four of those were felony charges."
