A country-themed festival in Kentucky dubbed the Redneck Rave ended with 48 people facing charges after a number of incidents involving drugs, violence and bizarre accidents. The
Lexington Herald-Leader reports that the five-day festival resulted in assaults, severed fingers, impalement and a slashed throat, while a number of attendees got so intoxicated that they made themselves ill.
According to the
Herald-Leader, a country rapper who bills himself as Justin Time organized the event, which was advertised as America’s wildest and craziest country party. The festival which featured live music, a demolition derby, goldfish racing, a football game and more took place at Blue Holler Offroad Park in the unincorporated town of Ollie. The event drew tens of thousands of people to the tiny town, doubling its population and posing logistical problems for local law enforcement, who lacked the resources to police a crowd that size.
