More than 100 people were arrested as "Go Topless Galveston," an event that brings together hundreds of Jeep drivers, attracted intoxicated crowds.
Public intoxication, driving while intoxicated, vehicle burglary and other offenses caused the Galveston County Sheriff's Office to work around the clock. The majority of the arrests took place on Crystal Beach, where the event was held.
Many people at the event suffered vehicle-related injuries.
"We've seen them fall out of vehicles, get struck by other vehicles, fall out and hit their head," said Sheriff Henry Trochesset Sunday afternoon. "We had a head-on collision last night by Gilchrist. A vehicle caught on fire. The passenger was extracted from the vehicle and we called Life Flight," a helicopter ambulance service. "That I know of, there are no fatalities so far. But the weekend's not over."
Go Topless is a weekend-long celebration organized by Jeep drivers across the country. The name nods to the Jeep Wrangler's removable upper body, one of the features that endears the vehicle to outdoor enthusiasts, though many Mardi Gras beads can also be found at the event. For Go Topless Galveston, Jeep enthusiasts navigated an obstacle course, drove through the waves and parked on Crystal Beach with coolers full of beer and flags waving from their vehicles.
