On Thursday (4.02) night, the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) set up a DWI checkpoint in the East. 685 vehicles drove through the stop and 6 DWI arrests were made, but the police also got much more than they bargained for.

In a report, the NOPD noted the case of the Simon brothers. At 1:30a.m., Lloyd and Floyd Simon were stopped at the checkpoint at the intersection of Dwyer Road and Downman Street according to police. Officer Jason Naquin asked driver Floyd for paperwork, but the brothers did not have it according to authorities. An investigation ensued, and officers say that they learned the 2014 Dodge Journey on their hands was stolen in January 28 robbery at the intersection of Loyola Avenue and Perido Street.

Both brothers were arrested for Possession of a Stolen Automobile.

10 out of state fugitives were also caught.

In addition, 77 miscellaneous citations were issued.
