Morton County deputies arrested two men who were in the country illegally early yesterday morning. Sheriff Dave Shipman says they responded to a call about a possible drunk driver north on Highway 1806. When deputies pulled the car over, they found an intoxicated woman driving and two men with her. Through an interpreter, they told a deputy that they were working for a paving company but didn`t know which one.

"This is the first time this summer for us," Shipman says. "However I know other law enforcement agencies, with the construction season going full swing, that`s when we generally have them such as after a major hailstorm where a lot of people from out of state come in. That`s when we generally encounter the illegal aliens,"

Authorities held the two until border patrol agents from Grand Forks came and picked them up. Shipman says they had been staying in Mandan.
