At least two concertgoers had their vibe severely harshed by the Man on Friday before Phish's sick show at Jones Beach ("My Friend, My Friend" melted faces!). The total arrest stats for the band's three night stand at the venue haven't been released yet, though it's doubtful they'll rival the 194 arrested and $1.2 million seized at their reunion concerts in Hampton, Virginia in March. But according to Newsday, police did arrest one Lawrence Collins, who had 2 1/2 ounces of cocaine, 6.7 ounces of hallucinogenic mushrooms and 10 grams of ecstasy. State Troopers, who were patrolling the venue lots because it's in a state park, spotted Collins selling drugs to one unlucky 23-year-old from Toronto named Erik Schwarz, who was arrested on a felony charge of fifth-degree drug possession. As for Collins, he's still in jail because he hasn't yet posted bail set at $200,000 bond or $100,000 cash. Police say he faces six felony—or phelony, if you prefer—drug sales and possession charges. But when will cops at Jones Beach go after the real criminals inside the venue? Vendors charge $6.50 for a small bottle of water!

When will this madness end?
Do you mean Phish touring or drugs being illegal?
Contact Chuckie Boy Schumer to stage a new conference condemning price gouging of water
What about the drugs? Were they reasonably priced?
I don't know-I don't do drugs. Drugs destroy dreams
I don't know which drugs you've done, but the ones I've ingested enhance dreams... like a mofo!
Yeah it's a fucking joke haha. I have seen too many friends die from doing these great drugs.
Not from mushrooms A-Hole
PHELONY!
Their water prices are no more outrageous than Yankees and they sell a lot more of it.
At least they sell beer at Yankees games. No wonder so many Phish Phans were getting high.
The war on drugs is stupid and a waste of police resources. Let the guy have fun.
The most well known and respected people in society today has tried and had "illegal" drugs in their possession at some time or another.
my peeps in tidewater virginia holding it DOWN against LI in the battle for king of the home of the east coast dipshits - testiFY!!
Drink out of the sink, Del Signore.
Phans were peeing in the sinks.
Bravo John. Phelony. I love it.
screw attending any concert in a public park. who wants to tune up and tune out while johnny law is on patrol? concert security should be there to protect the band from the audience, and the audience from itself...not perpetrating their fascist war on drugs.
If people who want to use drugs weren't so stupid, none of them would get caught. HEY I HAVE ENOUGH DOPE ON ME TO PUT ME AWAY FOR 40 YEARS, WHY DON'T I JUST SELL IT IN FRONT OF THESE POLICE OFFICERS?
completely. missed. the. point.
The show was amazing, the cops really really sucked.
They weren't just patrolling, they were being total dipshits.
There were many dogs there, and the cops would drive by them and blast their sirens. I had this poor puppy with me just shaking.
Why would you bring a dog? You can't bring him inside. Did you leave him in the car?
I echo the legalization sentiment. Who really cares if some hippies and frat boys get high and see a concert. Although I wouldn't mind if they ticketed them for littering balloons all over the f***ing ground. Free the Canadian.
Staging these kinds of raids is like shooting...phish in a barrel. Da cops just do it to humor themselves, not out of any concern for the physical, emotional, or social health of that crowd. Hippies + cops = the usual.
as long as I don't have to breathe their smoke, I'm ok with anyone doing whatever they want to their brains... I hate the smell...
Yawn. Is this at all interesting?
Oh what a dilemma for a drug dealer... Go to the Phish concert and make a LOT of money or don't go because the cops will be out in full force knowing drug dealers can make a LOT of money... It makes my head hurt just thinking about it.
Phish sucks.
Agreed
F you assholes. Phish, whether or not you like their music, are an incredible band of musicians who are beyond you Britney and Green Day loving assholes, Del Signore included.
This guy is not a real fan, just trying to capitalize. Phish fans have no use for cocaine!
The real question is- will the police get the real criminals stealing your car? Or will they go after the guy who takes drugs unto his own self and then tries to have a good time?
I feel bad for Erik Shwarz.
