GRATEFUL DEAD FANS IN MASS CONCERT BUST

Milwaukee, Wis. (AP)-- The Milwaukee sheriff's department said 411
citations were issued for violations of drug laws at last weekend's reunion
of the remaining members of the Grateful Dead at Alpine Valley Music
Theatre in Wisconsin.

The department's drug-enforcement unit released the following totals:

269 county citations for marijuana possession, which usually nets a $407
(U.S.) fine for less than 30 grams;

80 arrests for 132 state violations, which carry heavier penalties than
county citations;

10 charged with possessing hallucinogenic mushrooms and referred to the
district attorney.

Police seized more than 23 kilograms of marijuana, as well as 7,300 doses
of LSD, 8.8 grams of liquid LSD, four kilograms of hallucinogenic
mushrooms, nine grams of heroin, 82 grams of hashish, 6.3 grams of cocaine
and a tank of nitrous oxide, according to the department. AP
