Despite the fact that the city was once again packed with visitors, police made a relatively small number of arrests and had no serious incidents on Monday, according to a report from Lakeport Police Sgt. Jason Ferguson.
Lakeport Police credited the assistance of several local law enforcement agencies for contributing to the successful conclusion of the day's festivities.
Ferguson said the the Lakeport Police Department was assisted by the Lake County Probation Department, California Highway Patrol, Lake County District Attorney’s Office, Lake County Sheriff’s Office, California State Parks, California Department of Fish and Game, Clearlake Police Department, Cal Fire and the Lakeport Fire Department, all of which provided law enforcement presence in Library Park on Monday.
Altogether, six people were arrested and transported to the Lake County Jail for public intoxication and
fighting, Ferguson said.
He said six others were issued citations for charges related to resisting/obstructing a peace officer, possession of less than one ounce of marijuana, minor in possession of alcohol and possession of cigarettes by a minor.
Three children were reported missing and returned to their parents and 10 citations were issued for various parking violations, Ferguson said.
The Lakeport Police Department offered its appreciation to all the law enforcement agency members who participated in this years event, without whom, Ferguson noted, the event would not have been as successful.
