March 10, 2009
Police Seize $1.2Million In Drugs During Phish Reunion ShowsPolice confiscated $1.2million in illegal drugs and made a total of 194 arrests at concerts held by the recently reformed Phish last weekend.

Authorities also seized more than $68,000 in cash during the band's three-night residency in Hampton.

Most of the arrests were for drug possession, use and distribution, according to the Associated Press news agency.

Nearly 200 police officers were on patrol at the gigs, which marked the group's first performance in almost five years.

It is estimated that almost 75,000 fans descended on the Virginia city for the concerts.

Phish are among the headliners at the Bonnaroo festival, which will take place in Manchester, Tennessee from June 11th-14th.
