Chaos At Kaaboo Festival

Trouble erupted at the Kaaboo music festival in Del Mar, Calif., Sept. 17 as unhappy attendees tried to force their way into an at-capacity venue.  

Sheriff’s Lt. Mark Moreno said fans became rowdy just after 11 p.m. when they were told that Encore, the venue where Ludacris and Steve Aoki were set to perform, was full, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Several people got into a fight with deputies guarding the entrance, Moreno said. One deputy used pepper spray to help break up the crowd and officials in a sheriff’s helicopter above the event ordered the crowd to clear out.

It took about 30 deputies about 10 minutes to stop the commotion, the lieutenant said. Four people were arrested in connection with the incident, the Times said.
