Mansfield's Comcast Calms Down After Mayhem, 311

The Mayhem Festival at the Comcast Center on Friday didn’t seem, in comparison to the Identity and Influence festivals, to hold true to its name.  A total of 18 people were arrested, only two of which for criminal concerns. The 311 concert on Saturday had a total of 75 arrests, of which 36 were for underage drinking and 33 of which were put into protective custody for public intoxication. Only one arrest was made for illegal drug possession. One person was arrested for trespassing and four people were arrested for disorderly conduct.

Comparatively, the Identity Festival saw a host of medical issues, including the deaths of two patrons, due to drugs and alcohol and saw 45 total arrests. The Under the Influence of Music tour on the previous Wednesday saw a total of 87 arrests.

The Mayhem festival saw five people were arrested for underage drinking and nine people were taken into protective custody for public intoxication. One person was arrested for disorderly conduct.

Noel Butler, 26, of 7 Bonney St. in Pembroke was arrested for open and gross lewdness.

Shawn Clayton, 30, of 6 Park St. in Middleboro was arrested for malicious damage to a motor vehicle.

David Hastings, 55, of 163 Lawrence St. in New Bedford was arrested for having eight warrants out for his arrest.

Two Norton residents lodged noise complaints because of the Mayhem Festival.

Richard Case, 28, of 37A Glasson St. in Hudson was arrested for possession of a class C substance at the 311 concert.

The Mansfield Board of Selectmen will be discussing recent events at the Comcast Center and what can be done to limit such incidents.
