A concert featuring rap duo Dead Prez resulted in more than $30,000 in damages and an overturned Thurston County Sheriff’s patrol car during a riot that took place after the performance on Friday (February 15).
The incident, which happened early Friday at Evergreen State College, stemmed from reports of a fight that occurred inside the College Recreation Center. Around 1:30 a.m., a female campus police officer was dispatched to the venue, where dead prez was performing.
After the officer arrested a man inside the venue and placed him in the back of her patrol car, Washington State Patrol trooper Brandy Kessler said concertgoers were taunting and questioning what the officer did. At one point 200 people were at the scene as some in the crowd kicked the patrol car, broke its window, wrote graffiti on it with black marker and rolled the vehicle onto its roof.
