FHP DUI Wolfpack was out at the beaches with the Jacksonville Beach Police and Neptune Beach Police to crack down on people drinking behind the wheel.

The wolf pack and other agencies in Duval County and surrounding counties have been busy with a number of DUI arrests so far between Friday and Sunday morning.

In Duval County, 15 people were arrested.

In Clay County, four people were arrested, one of which involved a vehicle that crashed. Another Clay County arrest involved a child who was in the car, leading the 46-year-old driver to also be charged with child neglect.

Nassau and St. Johns counties each had two DUI arrests.
