Forthcoming at some point this morning, a second slide show's worth of photos from the festivities on Greenville Avenue Saturday. (Update: Check out Sam's choice pics, including one of an arrest.) Till then, here's the first 40. And Nick also shot some video that's available on the other side, for those able to open at least one eye. But late yesterday, DPD spokesman Senior Corporal Kevin Janse sent these Official Stats (which have been updated following the jump):
Parade/Concert Numbers:
- The rough estimate of crown is that 100,000 people were along the parade route
Three public intoxication arrests at parade; one at concert
- One mental health arrest
Four injuries, all alcohol-related
No reported consumption citations
Concert crowd was estimated at 5,500 with no arrests
- One-hundred thirty-two parking citations
Party Numbers:
Crowd approximately 12,000 at 5:30 p.m.
- Twenty-nine calls to DPD
Six arrested for public intoxication
Two arrested for driving while intoxicated
Twenty-one consumption citations
Two city arrests
One regulatory citation
- Two-hundred and seven parking citations
Forty-one vehicles towed
Saturday night, Janse followed up with a note about an unlikely shooting on Lower Greenville, in the 5600 block of Mercedes: "Officers responded to a call about a male shooting another male several times with a BB gun. One pellet may have hit the victim in the head somewhere." The dude who did the shooting ran into his house, at which point SWAT was called out. Angela Hunt would later report: "Shooter has been arrested."
