Seen Tuesday, River City event hall on Wilcox Boulevard is located next to a now-closed Food Lion store.Police arrested a 24-year-old Chattanooga man at the party Saturday night where at least two men ingested Ecstasy.
“It’s a little Molly [a pure form of ecstasy] … to help keep me up,” Darius Blakemore told police.
Police arrested Blakemore when he couldn’t provide an ID and appeared to be under the influence. Blakemore had open warrants for his arrest and had given his identification to his little brother to get into the party at the River City event hall at 3201 Wilcox Blvd. When placing him in handcuffs, police found a small twisted bag containing white powder, according to the arrest report.
The event hall owner says drugs were not sold or given out at the rap music show.
Throughout most of the show at River City event hall, police were there checking for any illegal liquor sales and underage drinking. They found none of those violations, police said.
