More than 200 Pounds of Drugs Seized and Four Arrested During Gathering of the Juggalos, Police Say
Missouri police have charged three more people and seized what they said were hundreds of pounds of marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms and other drugs as part of a stakeout of Insane Clown Posse’s 26th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos.
The Camden County Sheriff’s Office of Missouri announced on Friday it arrested Dennis Pradham and charged him with drug trafficking and delivering a controlled substance. Deputies said they seized 93 pounds of marijuana, 124 pounds of mushrooms, 135 grams of ketamine, 33 grams of ketamine/fentanyl, and 66 grams of MDMA from Pradham after pulling him over. He is jailed and has been denied bond, according to police.

Deputies also arrested Robyn Weiford and Jesse Williams, charging each with delivery of a controlled substance after police said they seized 40 pounds of edibles from the two.
The trio of arrests follows deputies charging Kevin “Bluntman” Jones with drug trafficking and delivery of a controlled substance after they said they seized 128 pounds of marijuana and a couple pounds of mushrooms. He is also jailed without bond, police said.

The arrests were part of a coordinated enforcement effort by The Camden County Sheriff’s Office, a local drug task force on other agencies. The sheriff’s office said in a statement that deputies were working overtime “to account for the influx of out-of-state visitors bringing illegal drugs into our community.”
The Gathering of the Juggalos commenced August 19th at Mother Nature’s Riverfront Retreat in Macks Creek, Missouri, and went until August 22nd. This was the festival’s first year at the location after occurring in Thornville, Ohio, for most of the last decade.
Arrests are common at festivals. At this year’s Coachella in California, where marijuana is legal, more than 200 were arrested.
