Coachella Arrests: 203 in Two Weekends

0:00Authorities drop some numbers on Coachella's wild two weekends, with 203 arrests, total for stuff like drug possession, public, intoxication, and fake IDs. Second weekend, wrapped up April 19th, and that's when things peaked with 106 people in cuffs, 52 for drugs, 13 rocking, bogus IDs, 8 to drunken public, and 33 more on charges from domestic violence to DUI. Cops also hid hard on parking scams, citing 85 folks for faking disability placards that weekend alone, plus one for a phony plate, and another ticket. That brings total citations for placard misuse to 117 across both weekends, down a bit from last year's 162, citations and 223 arrests. With a daily crowd of 125,000, festival security stayed tight, keeping the vibes mostly chill, despite the busts. California News today, powered by AI bringing you what matters.
