Another 98 were cited for unlawful use of a disabled parking placards at Coachella Weekend Two

The number of drivers cited for unlawful use of a disabled parking placard more than doubled from Weekend One to Weekend Two of Coachella. Not only should these people not have tried to use parking that was intended for those who actually need it, they really should have read Cactus Hugs at some point last week or, well, ever.

Here are all of your arrest numbers for the weekend:

128 total arrests were made which is down 15% from last year’s (152 arrests) weekend 2.

  • Drug/Alcohol/Intoxication – 84
  • False Identification – 35
  • Possession of drugs for sales – 2
  • Other – 7

206 traffic related citations were issued​:

• 108 traffic citations were issued for various motor vehicle driving violations
• 98 citations were issued for the unlawful use of a disabled person placard
