Dozens Arrested at Lightning in A Bottle

Dozens of people were arrested and booked on drugs charges while attending the 2013 Lightning in a Bottle music festival at Lake Skinner this weekend, sheriff's officials announced Tuesday.
Federal DEA officials were also at the event, and helped the sheriff's department conduct and undercover operation to catch a number of people selling a variety of drugs, including: cocaine, ketamine, LSD, marijuana, MDMA (ecstasy), methamphetamine, PCP, psilocybin and various prescription narcotics, according to Horton.
"Specifically, Riverside County Sheriff's Department personnel, in conjunction with members from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and the state Alcohol and Beverage Control office, detected numerous participants engaged in criminal acts including activity associated with the intent to possess and sell illegal drugs," Horton said.
According to the lieutenant, law enforcement officers posed as parties interested in buying illegal drugs, and then arrested those who supplied them.
"Teams from the Sheriff's Department along with DEA, and ABC were able to solicit the sales of illegal drugs and immediately took those responsible into custody, seizing the illegal drugs involved," he said.
Horton added that "significant quantities" of the illegal drugs were seized as a result of the total of 58 arrests made.
Most of those arrested were facing charges of "sales of a controlled substance," but police records also indicate one person was caught allegedly trying to steal a vehicle.

No, a cop posing as a buyer of drugs is not entrapment.

I have heard many other stories, one in particular happened to my friend, who was just smoking a blunt, then felt someone shove some money in his pocket and grab the blunt. Next thing he knows hes tackled to the ground with 4 men on him for allegedly trying to sell marijuana.

i hope none of these people admit any guilt to selling a controlled substance.

Don't see many pcp busts. That festival sounds like it had some good drugs. The big festival near me seems to have a lot of busts on road in and out but very little inside the venue or campground.

I bet it's MXE, 3-Meo-PCP, or similar, and not old school wet.

I watched something similar happen to a guy sitting right in front of us while we were waiting for a set to start. He was trying to help out a "fellow attendee" and roll up a joint for them to enjoy, when the undercover dropped money in his lap and he was then swarmed by a couple of them that came out of nowhere. Him and everyone who saw it happen were all
