The San Bernardino County sheriff's department reports 111 people were arrested during the first full night of Nocturnal Wonderland at the San Manuel Amphitheater in Devore.

Despite the scope of the arrests, there are few details about the specifics of the crimes. The Press Enterprise reports two people who appeared under the influence were handcuffed and another man was detained after his socks and shoes were searched. Among the arrests, one person was booked for suspicion of driving under the influence after crashing his vehicle into a marked sheriff's traffic unit.

Officials reportedly tried to keep problems outside of the festival, with many arrests taking place before guests even entered the festival grounds. Vehicles were searched before entering campgrounds and like at all festivals, guests' bags were searched for drugs, weapons and other banned items. According to reports, guests could put banned items inside an Amnesty Box before showing their tickets with no questions asked.

Nocturnal Wonderland ends today. Scheduled performers for this year's festival include Eats Everything B2B Skream, George Fitzgerald, Guy Gerber, Keys N Krates and Nicole Moudaber.
