State Police set up checkpoints around Arcadia this morning after the local sheriff asked for help in cracking down on motorists without driver's licenses and insurance.

In two hours, troopers found 10 people without proper paperwork. Nine of those were working at the House of Raeford chicken processing plant near the checkpoint.

The men, all Hispanic, were taken to the parish jail and State Police called in immigration agents to verify their residency status. Three of the men were later released on bond but the others face likely deportation.

Ballance said State Police will have checkpoints throughout Bienville Parish all this month.
