Two men were arrested in separate DWI incidents in Chapel Hill on Monday afternoon. In each case, the drivers allegedly hit other vehicles.

Durham resident Alex Mitchell-Schwartz was arrested shortly before 2:30 after police say he ran a red light and hit a car at the intersection of Fordham Boulevard and Europa Drive. He was charged with driving while impaired, driving with a revoked license and failure to stop at a red light.

Juan Luna of Carrboro was arrested at 3 o’clock at 123 East Franklin Street. Luna allegedly struck another car and left the scene. He was charged with driving while impaired, hit and run, driving without a license and driving left of center. According to Chapel Hill police reports, his blood alcohol content registered 0.31, nearly four times the legal limit in North Carolina.
