400 Arrests Made in Tampa
Police in Tampa arrested more than 400 people at the annual Gasparilla Parade.
Police say the arrests Saturday included 406 misdemeanors. The majority were alcohol related. Police also made seven arrests on felony charges, including battery on a law enforcement officer, battery on a police horse, fake ID and drug charges.
About two dozen suspects were transported to jail. All the rest were released and given notice to appear in court.
Police say seven juveniles face alcohol charges. Officials attributed the low number of juvenile arrests to an extensive education campaign in area high schools about a new zero tolerance policy.

Car Crash Leads to 238-Pound Pot Bust
Tracks in the snow leading from a crashed car to the nearby bridge overpass on New Mexico's I-40 just didn't look right to officers.
State police say that officers patrolling the stretch near Tucumcari Saturday found that 40-year-old Henry Alan Lowe of El Paso, Texas, had lost control of his sedan and crashed into a snow pile.
Then they noticed tracks leading back and forth from the trunk to the bridge.
They allege that partially hidden under the overpass were large plastic wrapped bundles and inside was about 238 pounds of raw marijuana with an estimated street value of more than $642,000.
Police say Lowe was arrested after treated for a gash to his head.
