The Police Department, which leads the law enforcement efforts for Sundance and increases staffing considerably during the festival, was seen in heavy numbers at many points during the opening weekend along Main Street and elsewhere. It appeared police officers were intervening in numerous minor issues over the weekend that were a result of the crowds, drunkenness and revelry. Some of the cases reported last week included: • on Saturday, Jan. 20, a man who was suspected to be intoxicated reportedly walked into a house on Deer Valley Drive at 11:17 p.m. The man was not aggressive, but the people inside could not get him out of the house, the police were told. • on Jan. 20 at 8:24 p.m., six people were reported to be in a lobby on Heber Avenue using profanities. They refused to leave, the police were told. The Police Department classified the case as suspected disorderly conduct. • on Jan. 20 at 5:58 p.m., a vehicle was found unattended and with the engine running on the 700 block of Main Street. The driver reportedly went inside a restaurant-bar for “just one minute,” the police were told. • on Jan. 20 at 3:30 p.m., a person, described as “someone odd,” went to the door of a residence on Woodside Avenue asking the people inside whether they were the owners.
