More than 12,000 thousand people attended a Montague County event last week called Rednecks with Paychecks and dozens of those people used their paychecks to get out of jail.
Montague County sheriff's officials say these three people, Patricia Miller from Arkansas and two Texans, Christopher Farley and Trevor Shelpuk were arrested for driving while intoxicated.
All are out of jail after posting a $1,200 hundred dollar bond.
The bi-annual event had folks converging on a 1,200 acre farm outside of Saint Jo.
Activities included mudding, racing, rock climbing and live concerts.
But there were also many other arrests and citations.
In all, Montague County officials say 30 other people were arrested for offenses ranging from resisting arrest to public intoxication.
And 94 citation were issued..
Despite these offenses sheriff's officials considered the event a huge success since nearly 50 law enforcement officials maintained the peace among thousands of party-goers.
