A hus­band and wife were arrested Sun­day and charged with dri­ving while intox­i­cated after the vehi­cle their child in was stopped at a check­point, East Fishkill Police said.

Offi­cers at a check­point oper­ated between mid­night and 5 a.m. Sun­day stopped a vehi­cle after observ­ing mar­i­juana para­phena­lia inside, police said. The vehi­cle was occu­pied by two 18-year-old boys and two 15-year-old girls, all of whom live in Hopewell Junction

Par­ents of all four teens were called to pick up their chil­dren, but the 46-year-old mother of one of them was observed to be intox­i­cated upon her arrival, police said. The 46-year-old was arrested and the teen-ager was released to another adult at the scene, police said.

Two hours later, the same child’s father, a 45-year-old Hopewell Junc­tion res­i­dent, drove through the check­point and was observed to be intox­i­cated, police said.

He was arrested and both par­ents were charged with dri­ving while intox­i­cated, a mis­de­meanor, police said.
