Police made 38 felony arrests — all but four of which were narcotics-related — in the late hours of Sunday night and early Monday morning. Last year, there were a record 40 arrests on the final EDC day.
Sunday’s tally is up from Saturday’s 28 felony arrests. Police also made three misdemeanor arrests Sunday and handed out six misdemeanor citations, a news release said. Four DUIs were issued.
This year’s medical call numbers totaled almost double from last year with an average of more than 300 per day.

The 34-year-old man who died was said to have passed out from heat related issues, but an official coroners report has not been released yet.
