Thirty-five people were arrested and charged for alcohol-related offenses after police responded to the 15000 block of Somonauk Road Saturday.

Dekalb County Sheriff Roger Scott said police were called around 4:30 a.m. for a report of a car in a ditch.

“There were other cars parked there as well and we went to the residence to talk to those people about getting those vehicles moved off the highway,” Scott said.

Scott said it was at this point that the sheriffs noticed alcohol being consumed by minors.
