The lead up to the inaugural Jumanji Festival hasn’t exactly been smooth, with organizers garnering a fair amount of criticism for its all-male lineup. Now, as reported by Music Feeds, the festival has faced a number of arrests for fence jumping and drug-related offenses.
Headlined by hip hop superstars Lil Wayne, Tyga and more, the festival took place in Sydney’s Parramatta Park on Saturday, March 10, attracting just over 6000 punters.
NSW Police have confirmed that 71 people were caught fence-jumping, with 44 refused entry. Nine people were also removed from the festival grounds for “aggressive or antisocial behaviour”.
Medics took care of 99 medical issues, with two punters being transported to hospital, while 20 people were charged with drug offenses within the festival.
The Victorian leg also faced a number of drug offenses, with a 19-year-old man being charged with the possession and trafficking of drugs, possessing the proceeds of crime, handling stolen goods and resisting police.
Two police officers were also injured while making arrests, including a 27-year-old man was also arrested and charged with possessing drugs and resisting arrest.
