45-year-old Kevin Jones has reportedly been a vendor at the festival for over 20 years. Man Nicknamed “Bluntman” Arrested Ahead of Gathering of the Juggalos with 128 Pounds of Weed Eddie Fu
According to NBC affiliate KYTV, a man named Kevin Jones, also known as "Bluntman," was arrested before the start of the annual Gathering of the Juggalos festival. The Mid Missouri Drug Task Force learned through a tip that Jones intended to distribute marijuana during the four-day event. This information was later confirmed on the festival's website, which listed Bluntman's One Stop Shop as a supplier of various marijuana-related products for over 20 years.
On Monday, August 17th, the task force stopped Jones' pickup for traffic violations on U.S. 54 in Osage Beach, Missouri. During a search of the towed camper, they discovered approximately 128 pounds of marijuana, along with plastic containers of psilocybin mushrooms and signs advertising "Weed 4 Sale" and "Flower For Sale." The task force also found devices with QR codes for digital payment methods.
Jones is currently held in Camden County jail without bond, facing charges of drug trafficking and delivery of a controlled substance. This marks the first arrest related to the festival, which began today, August 19th, at Mother Nature's Riverfront Retreat in Macks Creek, Missouri, and will run through August 22nd.
