BY SUSAN ANASAGASTI sanasagasti@herald.com Undercover officers watching the sixth annual Ultra Music Festival on Saturday arrested more than 100 people suspected of dealing or using illegal drugs. Officers of the Miami Police Department's Crime Suppression Unit and Special Investigations Section, Miami Beach Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration were moving among the 35,000 dance music aficionados who packed Bayfront Park in downtown Miami as part of Operation Difference. Police arrested 117 partyers while seizing cocaine, Ecstasy, marijuana, crystal methamphetamine and LSD with a total street value of about $25,000. ''Our main thing was to get the drugs out of there,'' Lt. David Magnusson said. ``Everything was right there on the surface. We didn't have to go digging up for anything.'' Kicking off this year's Winter Music Conference, revelers moved to the progressive house and trance beats of Paul Oakenfold, Chemical Brothers and Paul van Dyk, among others. But the spinning sounds mixed with drug use and summer-like temperatures made for a deadly combination, police said. ''Our main job was to stop the drug-selling but we were out there as parents as well,'' Lt. Rene Landa said. ''We wanted to make sure, too, that they were taken care of. It was scary out there.'' The arrests didn't stop the thousands of glowstick-waving music fans who swayed their sweaty bodies to the pulsating drum beats of the DJs. ''Everywhere you turned there was perpetual motion that would elevate the body temperature even if you were on nothing but water,'' Magnusson said. ``It's a recipe for disaster on your body.'' Fire-rescue workers treated about 30 drug users at the event; four were transported to the hospital, police said. Last year, Miami Mayor Manny Diaz threatened to shut down the festival fearing pervasive drug use on city property. But Landa said Ultra promoters were committed to keeping the festival safe. ''They worked hand-in-hand with the police department to ensure that the venue was a safe environment for all who attended,'' Landa said. ``We want to make sure drugs aren't coming into the city. Lord knows how many lives we saved by making the arrests and by being there.'' fucking ravers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
