Four Arrests Made at the 2015 GOTJ

Although there was plenty of fresh features and positive vibes at this year's Gathering of the Juggalos, there just had to be some negative news to tag along. Reported and confirmed earlier today (and oddly at about the same time), there were four arrests made at the event. The first set of arrests consisted of drug trafficking. The first arrest was a man charged with trafficking in cocaine. He held a sign that said "COCAINE" on it, and an undercover busted him after a purchase. The second arrest were a couple, and they were charged with aggravated trafficking. The man was alongside a topless female whom had "MOLLY FOR SALE" written across her chest, and undercovers witnessed several transactions. The man escaped briefly once uniformed police officers approached them, but he eventually got caught. LSD and MDMA was found on the man upon his arrest. The third arrest was a man charged with trafficking in LSD. Police were investigating an assault, and the man reported his backpack being stolen. Once his backpack was found, police took it as evidence in regards to the assault, and had found a large quantity of LSD inside the backpack. The man admitted to taking the drugs, but denied possession. The second arrest story is a man whom was charged with a rape of a disoriented woman during one of the DJ parties. Apparently the man had been dancing with the female during the party, but numerous witnesses said that the man was basically holding her up and that she was limp the entire time. Afterwards, the man had dragged the woman to either a tent or grassy area, and engaged in sexual conduct. Witnesses said they surrounded the man and attempted to catch him, but he had escaped. Police later identified the man and he agreed to an interview, which afterwards, he was charged and arrested for the rape. Unfortunately, these stories are a rare case of extreme negativity at the Gathering of the Juggalos. Faygoluvers is an unbiased website that reports both good and bad news, and we are saddened that these people had to shine a negative light on such a positive event. A usual reminder though, these people are innocent until proven guilty by the court of law. Even though officers from the Sheriff's Department were clearly on the grounds last year (without any incident at all) and this year at Legend Valley, it does create some speculation. Although the rape incident was apparently confirmed (mainly because several witnesses tried to take action against the man themselves), the drug arrests (although lacking common sense or responsibility), brings up the question of undercover police officers making drug arrests at the Gathering. Will this be a more common theme at future Gatherings? Was it also justified due to the people's visibility and willingness? Was it fair to selectivity arrest these people but not others? Answer in the comments below. Below are the links to the actual stories, and the full names and details regarding each arrest.
