Most patrons of the DTE Energy Music Theater enjoy the concerts without causing problems. Others do not, and a couple recent concerts provided plenty of action for Oakland County Sheriff’s deputies.
Arrests for offenses such as trespassing, disorderly conduct and malicious destruction of property, as well as alcohol-related crimes, filled the files for July 26-27 at the popular venue
Lt. Dale LeBair, commander of the Independence Township sheriff substation, witnessed a 30-year-old Olympia, Wash. man slash a tire on a county animal control vehicle in the theater parking lot on July 27. LeBair was working extra duty at the theater and was sitting in an unmarked car at the time. He arrested the man for malicious destruction to police property.
Other arrests over the two-day period included:
? Several subjects were arrested for trespassing for attempting to reenter after being ejected from the property. They included a 23-year-old Detroit woman, a 52-year-old Allen Park man and a 20-year-old Pinckney man.
? In separate incidents, a 22-year-old Clarkston woman and a 23-year-old Port Huron man earned the additional charges of disorderly conduct when they became combative with the deputies who apprehended them.
? A 48-year-old Fort Gratiot woman was arrested for trespassing after going backstage without authorization.
? A 22-year-old St. Clair Shores man was arrested after jumping a fence to gain unauthorized entrance. The same was true in a separate incident involving a 21-year-old man from Richmond, Va. and a 25-year-old woman from Genesco, N.Y.
? An 18-year-old Bloomfield Hills man was arrested for under-21 consumption of alcohol after registered a blood alcohol level of 0.088 percent in a preliminary breath test. The same held true for a 16-year-old Grosse Pointe Woods boy who blew a 0.44 percent.
The July 26 concert was by Projekt Revolution (featuring artists such as Snoop Dogg, Linkin Park and Korn), with The Dead appearing July 27.
