South Beach’s annual Memorial Day weekend bash was a remarkable success, a big dud, or somewhere in between, depending on who’s asked.
But after more than a decade of controversy, Miami Beach officials appear to have found a crowd enforcement formula they and residents are finally happy with.
“I’m very pleased with how everything went,” Police Chief Raymond Martinez said Monday morning.
Urban Beach Week, South Beach’s hip-hop-driven holiday weekend, has been a polarizing event for years. And last year it erupted in police gunfire that killed a man wounded four bystanders after a confrontation with a driver police said was armed
This year, Miami Beach police – predicting many arrests and a large crowds for a five-day event that has drawn estimates of 250,000 people in the past - stepped up enforcement efforts.
Neither prediction came true.
As of Monday morning, police had arrested 321 people during the weekend compared to 332 during the same period last year, according to police spokesman Sgt. Bobby Hernandez. He said police had also received about 600 fewer emergency calls compared to 2011.
