23 ARRESTS MADE DURING HEMPFEST
The State Patrol made 23 arrests during Olympia Hempfest on Aug.
23-24 -- including 10 misdemeanor marijuana-possession arrests and
four felony drug arrests, State Patrol Sgt. Ted DeHart said.
DeHart said that by comparison, one person was arrested during this
year's five-day Lakefair.
"I think there may be a misunderstanding that if you come down to
Hempfest for two days, it's OK to be smoking marijuana, and that's
not the case," he said. "We will always enforce the law."
