Santa Rosa Police Department officers impounded nine cars and arrested multiple drivers that participated in Friday night sideshow activities, the department announced on Saturday.
At 11:30 p.m., officers responded to Petaluma Hill and Frazier Avenue after fairgoers heard sideshow activity from the Sonoma County fairgrounds. On the scene, police said they saw 60 to 70 spectators watching 20 cars driving recklessly in the intersection. Upon their arrival, officers said those watching and participating in the sideshow left within minutes.
Police said impounding nine vehicles took nearly two hours. During the process, spectators threw objects like coins, rocks and water bottles at officers, according to police, though no officer was injured. "Public safety is our priority. The Santa Rosa Police Department will continue to work with our law enforcement partners on a proactive enforcement response to prevent illegal sideshow activity in Sonoma County," said the police department in a press release.
