After three days of EDM, large crowds and high energy during the Ultra Music Festival, Miami Police on Monday announced that nine arrests were made.<\/p>\n
According to Miami Police, the arrests made varied among controlled substances, thefts, battery and fraud.<\/p>\n
The following includes the number of arrests made during the festival’s three days.<\/p>\n
Ultra day 1: four arrests<\/p>\n
Ultra day 2: four arrests<\/p>\n
Ultra day 3: one arrest<\/p>\n
Police have not released the identities of the suspects who were arrested.<\/p>\n
The most serious incident happened early Saturday morning near Northeast First Avenue and Second Street, when Miami Police flagged down a shirtless man in his 20s causing a disturbance. That encounter quickly escalated.<\/p>\n
“That argument escalated, and the individual turned that aggression towards the police officer,” Chief Manny Morales said.<\/p>\n
Police said the suspect turned a verbal confrontation into a physical one after attempts to de-escalate using a taser and pepper spray. An officer fired, striking him.<\/p>\n
The suspect was identified as Philip Richard Carson. He was taken to the hospital, where he underwent surgery and is now in stable condition.<\/p>\n
One officer was also hurt and treated for minor injuries. Carson has since been arrested.<\/p>\n
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After three days of EDM, large crowds and high energy during the Ultra Music Festival, Miami Police on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212809,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-212808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212808\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
