Authorities arrested almost 120 people during the Stagecoach Country Music Festival
Police said 58 arrests involved underage alcohol possession and 41 involved false IDs during the three-day festival, while winds forced a temporary evacuation.
The Indio Police Department arrested 119 people during the three-day Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, California, with details released on Tuesday via press release.
Charges included 58 counts of underage alcohol possession, 41 false ID cases, seven alleged drug offenses, and five intoxication arrests, reflecting typical festival enforcement patterns.
Strong winds forced a temporary evacuation around 7:45 p.m. on April 26, prompting rescheduled performances by Lainey Wilson, Gavin Adcock, and Whiskey Jam later that evening.
This year's 119 arrests fell below last year's 151, while the Empire Polo Club's sister festival Coachella recorded over 200 arrests during its recent run.
Outside enforcement activity, Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney drew criticism for blocking attendee views by sitting on boyfriend Scooter Braun's shoulders during Ella Langley's performance.
