New Sheriff Overseeing Burning Man to Crack Down on Naked Rule-Breakers

The weeklong event in Nevada draws thousands of people — and their drugs

A new Nevada sheriff tasked with overseeing the upcoming Burning Man festival plans to crack down on the annual desert debauchery.

Jerry Allen, 39, who was elected Pershing County Sheriff in January, said he plans to tighten law enforcement for the tens of thousands of festival-goers journeying to the remote Black Rock Desert next week for the annual event, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported on Tuesday.

In recent years, many attendees at the weeklong event — where nudity is the norm, drugs flow as if on tap and orgies litter the desert — have not been charged for crimes like marijuana possession, according to federal reports on the event, but the new sheriff in town said he has a tougher police protocol in mind.

“We don’t have the personnel to issue citations to 70,000 naked people on the playa, but we will be upholding the law to the best of our ability,” Allen said. He added that Burning Man “brings nothing … except for heartache” to the conservative, rural county.

Burning Man organizers said they remain optimistic because the low number of arrests in years past suggest more festival-goers are abiding by the law.

“We’ve been working with [Allen] since his election, and he’s been involved with all of the large coordination efforts,” said Burning Man spokesman Jim Graham. “It’s an ongoing process on education, but he hasn’t been out there for a few years, so he hasn’t seen the progress we’ve made in recent years.”

Burning Man will take place from Aug. 30 to Sept. 7.

Been on the Playa for a few days now.  What day is it?  Not too sure...

Survived 24 hours of rolling whiteouts.  What an experience!  Learn to love dust is all I have to say.  My camping rig is one grey cloud now.

New sheriff? What are all you shirtcockers going to do?

Fishing for the cure could take on a whole new meaning by the time it's over.

Not if he is posting pics of a trailer and a stove

Ain't that the the truth......

Bill quite messing around PM me all questionable inappropriate pics for review.....

I've been checking all the forecast websites and, from what I gather, there will be little or no fishing at Burning Man.  I'm gonna pass.  Enjoy!

You REALLY think I'm going to post up GOOD pictures for all you to see?  NOT A CHANCE!!!!! 

Made it home.  Epic event.  Still trying to process it all.  Just downloaded all the pics & waiting for a few friends who were there to bring their 1000+ pics by my place tonight.  Yielded over 16GB of pics & video footage to go thru!

There may be a few pics rolling among-st the inner circle soon.

For the record ... there was NO 'rock out with your cock out' for me at BM    

that sandwich-company parody is sooooo spot on. too funny.

I thought it was VERY funny & (somewhat) spot on!  Had to share it.  Hope it was worthwhile to Q-subs.

Anybody else feel like this may have been the most anti-climactic thread on NCKA ever?

You went to burning man and all you post is this crap? WTF?

Uh-Huh. Especially after having to deal with all of Bill's build up.

Why is that?  Doesn't mean it isn't going on behind the scenes.  I'll share a story & some pic's shortly if that's what you want ... but it won't be the same ones making their way around already.
