DEA Will Be Monitoring Festivals

Have you been feeling weird at latest music festivals? It’s like you were almost paranoid, feeling that someone is watching you? Well, don’t worry, you had a good reason for that according to LA Weekly.

Allegedly, U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency’s agents could be keeping an eye out on everyone at music festivals. DEA agents already made five arrests in Devore, at Nocturnal Wonderland during the Labor Day weekend.

Timothy Massino, DEA spokesman, says this could become common because of the high profile deaths at music festivals in the United States.

“There’s clearly a huge synthetic drug problem in the scene,” Massino said. “It’s rampantly distributed. Based on the increased prevalence of the stuff, I could see being asked to do this more often — to come out and assist with these operations.”

 “The state and local agencies are cracking down. If they invite us, odds are we’re going to come play.”
