Most of the arrests were drug related.
: 60 people were arrested at the 2019 Burning Man festival in the northern Nevada desert, a spokesperson for the Pershing County Sheriff’s office said, the highest in the past six years as authorities increase enforcement at the festival known for its permissive and open drug use. One of the more serious charges was for sexual assault. The 36-year-old man charged with the crime had his bail listed at $150,000.
The highest bail amount was $500,000 for trafficking more than 28 grams of a controlled substance, according to theThe number of arrests is more than the 43 arrested last year and the 58 people arrested in 2017. And it’s even higher than 2013 when only six people were arrested. After Pershing County Sheriff Jerry Allen was elected in 2015, he vowed to increase enforcement in the Back Rock Desert during the event, which draws in tens of thousands of people each year.
"We don't have the personnel to issue citations to 70,000 naked people on the playa, but we will be upholding the law to the best of our ability," Allen said in 2015, according to the "Burning Man brings nothing to Pershing County except for heartache," he added.
