Schuyler County officials reported 23 arrests at the three-day Phish concert held over the weekend at Watkins Glen International -- mostly for the sale or use of illegal drugs.

But according to Schuyler County Sheriff William Yessman Jr., the 30,000 fans at the three-day Magnaball festival behaved very respectfully, and he has no reservations about similar events being held at WGI in the future.

“There were 30,000 people,” Yessman said. “To have just 23 arrests, that’s not that bad.”

Yessman said one change that he would like to make before another such event is held is a more efficient traffic check at the entrance to the site.

The following arrests occurred at the three-day festival event, according to the Schuyler Sheriff’s Office:
