St. Louis, MO – Police say a man is accused of robbing eight people as they walked to their cars Saturday night from the festivities. Authorities say they arrested another man suspected of breaking into several parked cars at the celebration Saturday night.

But police say those were most serious arrests made in connection with Saturday's Mardi Gras parade and the hours
following it.

Police say more than 250 people were cited for mostly minor crimes, most commonly for urinating in public and underage drinking.
