The ruling substantiated the charges pertaining to illumination and drug use and dismissed the nudity charge. The ruling stated there wasn't enough evidence to indicate Best Beverage knew of the nudity violation, and therefore it can't be held responsible.

The company underwent a two-day administrative hearing in April and May during which officials listened to testimony regarding whether Best Beverage had violated its license conditions.

ABC agents testified in April, describing a scene of constant drug use, particularly marijuana, with no action from security guards to stop it. Festival operators said they saw little to no drug use, and anyone seen using illegal drugs was removed from festival grounds.

"The evidence in this case demonstrated that Agent [Matthew] Layman and other ABC agents observed and videoed multiple incidents of marijuana use on the licensed premises at the Lockn' Music Festival ..." the ruling states. It further says it is a violation to knowingly allow the sale or use of illegal drugs on the premises, defining allow as to permit or neglect to prevent.

Testimony in April indicates a representative of Best Beverage was made aware of the violations after a meeting with Layman during the festival.
