The Kansas Highway Patrol made two DUI arrests on the turnpike around 2:30 a.m. this morning. Both arrests occurred within about a mile of each other and only about 15 minutes apart.

Lawrence Police were called to investigate what the caller believed to be the sound of a single gunshot from the area south of 10th and Missouri Streets.

Just before 3 a.m., Lawrence Police observed a vehicle which was traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes of K-10. The officer was able to stop the vehicle near East Hills Drive. That driver was also taken into custody for DUI.

Officers in Lawrence responded on a non-injury accident where the driver involved had fled the scene. Police were able to catch up with the suspect driver a short time later. He was arrested for leaving the scene of the accident.
