Over 300 Arrested at Gasparilla Festival
At the pirate-inspired Gasparilla parade, just under 350 attendees were arrested for alcohol-related crimes.
While this number is down from the 415 that found themselves arrested last year, the number is still high - the arrests stemming from the excessive alcohol and high number of people that swarm the area for the parade.
This "Mardi Gras" type parade resulted in arrests that included everything from having an open container of alcohol,
underage drinking, disorderly conduct and other alcohol violations - including
DUI, as well as boating under the influence.
If you or someone that you care about has been arrested or charged with an alcohol-related crime such as these, the very best thing that you can do for yourself is to seek out the legal representation of an aggressive Tampa lawyer.
