The Nelson County Sheriff’s Office on Monday released a final tally of arrests made during this year’s Lockn’ Festival.
A total of 25 people were arrested during the four-day festival, which was held at the end of August and attracted an estimated 28,000 people to Oak Ridge Estate in Arrington.
Fifty-six drug-related charges were filed, six people were arrested on public drunkenness charges, two were arrested for assault on a law enforcement officer and two people were arrested for child endangerment, according to the sheriff’s office.
Authorities seized contraband materials, cash and vehicles, according to a news release. Prosecution and forfeiture actions are pending.
Deputies from the sheriff’s offices in Nelson, Amherst and Augusta provided law enforcement services during Lockn’ this year.
During a meeting held last week that included representatives from the county, Virginia Department of Transportation, Virginia State Police, Virginia Department of Health, Nelson County Sheriff’s Office, Wintergreen Fire and Rescue and the Lockn’ festival, “no major concerns or issues” with this year’s event were presented, County Administrator Stephen Carter said.
“The consensus was that this year’s Lockn’ Festival was, to date, the best administered [and] coordinated … of the four Lockn’ shows held to date,” Carter said in an email.
Carter said the agencies discussed additional coordination for upcoming Lockn’ festivals as well as minor changes in coordination of services, adding no possible changes of “major significance” were discussed.
According to Carter, Lockn’ co-founder Dave Frey said he’s planning a community meeting or multiple meetings to address noise concerns with residents who live in the general vicinity of the festival.
