Undercover agents seize $20,000 in drugs at SnowGlobe

South Lake El Dorado Narcotics Enforcement Team agents were at the SnowGlobe Music Festival for two nights during the Dec. 29-31 event at Lake Tahoe Community College.

At the entrance people who had drugs or other items not allowed at the venue could dump them in “amnesty containers” — meaning they would not be cited or arrested for whatever they left behind. Some of the totals below reflect the goods that were seized in this manner.

The following are the number arrests-seizures agents made:

• 8 arrests
• 3.5 pounds marijuana (approximate value $10,500)
• 76 grams powdered MDMA (approximate value $6,000)
• 13 ecstasy pills ($195)
• 4 vials of LSD ($2,500)
• 64 miscellaneous pills ($1,000)
• 15 weapons (mostly edged weapons like knives).
