Thursday through Sunday evening Colorado State Patrol made 6 DUI arrests related to Country Jam which is well down from years past.
Three of the DUI arrests were the result of a proactive traffic stop and three were the result of a crash.
No injuries were reported.
All 241 drivers who went through Saturday's night DUI checkpoint were sober resulting in no voluntary roadside maneuvers or arrests.
Lost and found: Many items lost during County Jam have made their way to the Mesa County Sheriff's Office. We are sorting through in hope of reuniting them with their owners.
If you have lost something during the festival you may contact the Sheriff's Office NEXT WEEK. We will then be able to try and help locate your missing item (if we have it.)
We will be keeping stuff for 3 months.
