Cops Reel In Phish Fans

MARCH 11--The return of Phish to the concert stage has been a welcome development for both fans of the jam band and police.

During a series of concerts last weekend in Hampton, Virginia, authorities arrested nearly 200 Phish fans, most for possession or distribution of narcotics (cops reported seizing $68,000 and illegal drugs with a purported street value of--exactly!--$1,213,882.80).

On these pages you'll find a mug shot sampler of the Phish fans nabbed during the March 6-8 'multi-jurisdictional operation' overseen by the Hampton Police Division. (25 pages)
