On May 2, a party was held at Smokehouse Valley Farm in Cedar Grove with approximately 2,500 guests, and it caused several problems in the community. The attendees parked in the neighborhood near the venue, some in front of residential driveways, and multiple people living in the surrounding area found they were unable to leave their homes. It was reported that 911 received calls regarding the event from more than 75 people, some of whom needed medical help, including one woman who went into labor.
Many law enforcement officers were dispatched to the scene, along with first responders, and they reported that they had trouble navigating through the cars and people in the streets. The Sheriff’s Office reported that they found the partygoers had “obstructed driveways, left automobiles in the yards of neighboring property owners, and [that] intoxicated individuals wandered between vehicles snarled in traffic.” When they were located, several individuals were taken to hospitals for treatment.
