Police report '420' citations
---
The unsanctioned celebration of the illegal drug marijuana on Friday
commonly referred to as “420” didn’t go unnoticed by the Arcata Police
Department.
Arcata’s Redwood Park has become one of the main areas were celebrants
congregate, according to the news release, and the crowd on Friday was
estimated at approximately 3,500 people.
In an effort to curb problems the city has dealt with in the past,
officers from Humboldt State University, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s
Department and the California Highway Patrol were assigned to the area
to assist Arcata police officers.
Arcata police reported that 11 citations for possession of marijuana
were made, along with citations for possession of concentrated cannabis,
consumption of alcohol in a prohibited area, minor in possession of
alcohol and one public intoxication.
