Police go "Phishing" at rock concert and arrest 200 fans!

The cops have come up with a new plan to bust people for drugs. They just attend concerts and shake fans down! The whole shakedown was overseen by the Hampton Police Division under a "multi-jurisdictional operation."

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)."multi-jurisdictional operation" overseen by the Hampton Police Division.
