Despite an all time high attendance at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival’s first weekend, less people were arrested than last year.

Indio police arrested a total of 125 people at the three-day festival that started Friday, April 14, according to a Police Department news release; that’s three less arrests than last year’s opening weekend. Sgt. Dan Marshall said having fewer arrests this weekend was significant since there were noticeably more people than past years. The festival’s capacity was increased to 125,000 this year; past years’ capacity had been 99,000.

“We didn’t feel it at all, you could see there were a lot of people but there were no chokepoint issues, no crushing incidents,” Marshall said in a phone interview Wednesday.

The biggest difference Marshall noticed over the weekend was a reduction in minors possessing fake ID’s, he said. This year, 34 people were arrested for fake ID’s. Last year 46 people were arrested on that charge – a 130 percent increase from the year prior.

No “major incidents” occurred during the festival, Indio police officials said in a Facebook post accompanying the news release. The biggest incident involved four employees of Best Beverage Catering – one of the festival’s food and beverage vendors.

The employees “decided to help themselves to some cash” from the vendor, Marshall said. Detectives determined that they stole more than $10,000, Marshall said. They were arrested on suspicion of embezzlement and conspiracy.

Two people were arrested on suspicion of grand theft, one of whom made national headlines after allegedly stealing more than 100 cellphones.

In addition to the arrests, 155 traffic tickets were issued. More than half of the citations were issued to people using fake or fraudulent disabled person placards.

Marshall said people illegally parking in spots designated for disabled people is a major issue, because there is a limited amount of spots available. If the spots are taken then people who are actually disabled may have to park far away from the entrance. Marshall said the Police Department does not have the resources to tow all of the cars.

The Police Department’s “Amnesty boxes” were a huge success this year, Marshall said, as they are every year. The boxes are placed at the entrance to the venue, and people can drop things – drugs, alcohol and other substances not allowed in the venue – in them, no questions asked.
