Electric Forest Arrests

If you are going to attend the electric forest festival, expect police to engage in quite a few electric forest arrests. Electric forest arrests are a very nice source of income for the state and county.

Here is an article from mlive.com that doesn’t really deal with electric forest arrests, but instead talks about the policing that goes on at the festival.  The article paints a pretty picture about the police force presence at the festival. Make no mistake about it, the State Police of Michigan will enforce all drug laws while they are at the festival. Last year, they investigated 29 felony drug cases and 16 arrests. Those statistics are from the Michigan State Police.  Besides these drug arrests, the Michigan State Police arrested five people attending the festival for assault and battery.  The Michigan State Police also investigated several disorderly conduct reports and seven misdemeanor drug charges.

This years festival got off to a wet start as rain went through northern Michigan.  The electric forest festival will take place next weekend and is expecting a huge turn out.
