The Pinal County sheriff will hold a public meeting at 11 a.m. Thursday to discuss what happened when deputies shut down the second day of an arts and music festival in Oracle on Saturday.

"We're doing an investigation into their decision — why they felt they had to shut it down — and their (the deputies') demeanor," Sheriff Chris Vasquez said Tuesday.

The Pinal County Sheriff's Office has received 36 complaints about deputies' behavior when they abruptly ended the two-day Glow festival, Lt. Don Gowanlock said. Deputies closed the festival after receiving noise and traffic complaints from neighbors.

Gowanlock is investigating what happened the night of the event and estimated that the investigation could take weeks. "It's very involved. There are a lot of people to talk to," he said.

People at the event say deputies were rude, and the event's organizer said they had no reason to shut it down. Deputies said event-goers' parked vehicles were impeding traffic.

The meeting will be at Oracle Community & Senior Center, 685 E. American Ave.

People who were at Glow and want to tell the Sheriff's Office what they saw may call Gowanlock at 1-800-420-8689, ext. 7880.
