BEDFORD - Ten people were arrested during an overnight saturation patrol conducted by State Troopers of the Troop B barracks. Three of those arrested were charged with driving under the influence.

During the initiative, Troopers stopped 40 vehicles for various violations and primarily searched for aggressive and impaired drivers. Troopers also responded to a DUI-related crash that resulted in injuries. Additionally, the below arrests were made:

• Ryan Ahmed, 19, of Bedford (DUI);
• Marissa Munafo, 32, of Manchester (DUI);
• Brian Pinkerton, 28, of Manchester (DUI);
• Emma Greene, 22, of Manchester (reckless operation);
• Nathan Boardman, 23, of Milford, (reckless operation);
• Shawn White, 35, of Nashua (operating as a habitual offender);
• Charlen Ricci, 34, of New Boston (operating after suspension, second offense for DUI);
• Dalton Moreno Eras, 41, of Nashua (bench warrant);
• Ruth Gaoaa, 35, of Nashua (operating without a valid license); and
