ONEONTA – With almost 4,000 people at the Kid Ink concert that closed out OH-Fest, police reported “no major arrests” and only a handful of misdemeanor tickets issued.

“We can chalk this one up to the successful side,” said Lt. Douglas Brenner.

Three high school students were arrested for public fighting after the concert let out at 9:30 p.m., he said, and released to the custody of their parents.  In addition, five criminal mischief tickets were issued, two noise complaints, a simple possession charge of marijuana and one for public urination.

In addition to patrols the city, several police officers were station at Neahwa Park to assist EMS and security if there was a problem with the crowd.  Two patrons were taken to the hospital for alcohol poisoning, and another was escorted out of the concert by EMS personnel after she injured her ankle.

“People came to enjoy the music,” said Brenner.  “They behaved themselves.”

And though there were noise complaints in Center City, Brenner said the majority of the parties turned down the music when asked, and made a point to clean up their festivities.  “That’s the most important part,” he said.  “Otherwise, it makes the city look bad.”
