CASPER — Some concert-goers at a weekend rap show in the Casper Events Center ended their evening in jail after police made a handful of arrests for a variety of offenses, including drugs, fighting and public intoxication.
About 900 people attended the Friday night show, which featured a performance by The Game, a practitioner of “gangsta rap.”
The arrests included:
•Jerrod Cory Cureton, 24, and his brother, Dustin Jay Cureton, 29, who were arrested for breach of peace after scuffling with security guards in a restroom.
The pair told police that they were “harassed: by security and, at that point, became combative.” Guards said they suspected drug activity was taking place in the restroom, according to a police affidavit.
•Samuel Potter, 18, arrested for possession of marijuana and assault and battery. Police said Potter was spotted holding and smoking a joint while watching the concert.
Potter, who fought with security, told authorities that he simply took what was handed to him by someone else without initially knowing what it was, according to an affidavit.
