Total cash through Gate 7A for the first three days of Rock Fest is over $100K. Boggles my mind. (Could be more, but we don't have a credit-card reader or a check scanner to do instant debits - those have to go through gate 3 or 8.)

File under "Duh!"...

Two guys drove up to the gate area, where the security bunch checks out all the vehicles (no fireworks, firearms, etc.) with a baggie of marijuana in their car...sitting in plain view on the dashboard. No clue what they thought they were doing, or if they expected to get away with it. Within 30 seconds, the county cops were there, talking to them.

Part two...

Not more than 15 minutes after the drug bust, the cops were called to break up a domestic abuse situation. Some chick was beating the living bejeepers out of her boyfriend, and not being even remotely quiet about it.

Part three...

Yet more weed... A big pick-up truck gets up to the checkpoint, stops, and then does a really high-speed u-turn and peels out of the gate area. Security was doing random searches of vehicles (as opposed to the quick visual inspection while making sure all the people in the car/truck had armbands), and that was one of the ones chosen... They refused to cooperate, but one of the security troop saw a couple of large bags of marijuana in the back of the truck. They got away - but the county cops did get their license plate number.

Final installment...

Yet another car with at least one ziploc bag of weed tried to go through the security area. They earned themselves a 6-person security escort to a waiting area while the police were summoned.
